What happens if you fuse a variety of different sounds and merge them into one? New sounds emerge by chance, are discarded or reconverted until a truly unique and state of the art piece of music is formed. This music will literally and in the original sense of the word “composed” be “put together”. </span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Gill Sans'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Gill Sans'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"> </span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Gill Sans'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Gill Sans'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">The focus of this workshop is on the practical work with sound files and the numerous ways to experiment and operate with these files through the tool of the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse.
