Hi Samuel, <br><br>I think that technique on being able to focus the microphone of the field sampler on the sound that you want is really crucial. <br>Also editing technique, sample cutting, normalizing, etc. <br><br>What is the skill level of the participants? <br>

<div><div style="font-family: 'bookman old style','new york',times,serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div>Hello</div><div><br></div><div>I have been asked to do a two-day workshop around musique concrete or basically using natural sounds to create a composition. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to make the best of it. I was thinking of doing a short historical introduction and letting them hear some recordings. then a mindstorm about which sounds they (the participants) would go hunt for. Then in the afternoon we would go on a soundwalk with mobile recorders to record sounds. Back at theatelier we listen to the sounds and start to cut. Finally we make a collage and do some editing on it (basic editing, I prefer to use the sounds as natural as possible). And in the end of the second day, the participants show their
works. </div><div><br></div><div>What would I need to do to improve the plan? Another question that bugs me is that i will have to provide the mobile recorders. Normally I use the ones from the university I work at but I cannot take them from there. Therefore i was thinking to get hold of the ZOOM H1 or Q3. Any advice against it or should that be ok?</div>
