14.00 Editing and Selecting Audio
Each participant will select an audio extract from their records in the herb garden or documentation walk. These recordings will then be individually “digitally quantified” by guest sound artist Nick Williams. This process will run alongside the Constructing Personal Geographies activity.
14.15 Constructing Personal Geographies
Each participant will develop a method for representing their selected audio extract, exploring techniques such as mapping, scoring, remixing, etc. Based on the results of this process, workshops participants will explore opportunities for generating collaborative responses.
