George Paton Gallery and Union House Theatre present Resonance, a two-part sound workshop hosted by Nina Buchanan, Naarm based electronic musician and composer.

Participants in these workshops will be introduced to the expansive possibilities of sound through creative and conceptual strategies for sound-making and composition. With Nina’s insights and guidance, participants will be introduced to the emotional and experiential capacities of sound, while developing practical technical skills using audio tools and equipment.

These workshops will develop skills and open pathways to sound designing for performance, videos, podcasts, sound sculpture, installations, and more. No prior experience with sound required.

A free workshop for University of Melbourne students.
