[microsound] How to do a musique concrete workshop?

[Boris Klompus]

Hi Samuel,

I think that technique on being able to focus the microphone of the field
sampler on the sound that you want is really crucial.
Also editing technique, sample cutting, normalizing, etc.

What is the skill level of the participants?
