SOUNDS QUEER? Introduction to synths
Synthesizer can be a spaceship or a tool to explore unearthly, uncanny sounds. This workshop offers an introduction to sound synthesis with a bit of history of synthesizers from a feminist perspective. We will listen to the pioneers of electronic music, learn about the basics of sound and components of synthesizers. Our meeting will be concluded with a space to explore what is a synth with a pair of headphones, so if you always wanted to touch one, there’s your chance. Attack, decay, sustain, release!
The workshop is a part of Sounds Queer? the project, aiming at creating a queer synthesizer laboratory and a queer safer space through electronic and computer music. SQ? is happy to visit Brno! Workshops prioritize femme, women, afab, non-binary, trans, queer folks but everyone is welcome as long as they are willing to reflect upon their own privileges (how easy it is for them to gain this kind of knowledge, how often do they speak/ reach out to teach the gear first) and take a step back to create more space for others.
Workshop will be guided in English.
