Join composer and sound artist Suk-Jun Kim who will introduce two different activities for live (sound) performance: slow walking and coding over two days on 13 and 14 November 2015.
On day one, slow walking will be introduced as a tool for listening to a mundane place, using Aberdeen’s high street, Union Street. During this extremely slow walk on Union Street, participants will listen to the sounds, strike conversations with fellow participants and people on the street. With the aim of taking a walk from one end of the street to the other, as slowly as possible whilst listening to the place and people, and sounds of participants’ own making to record and use in a live coding performance.
On day two, a program language called Tidal will be introduced. If you wish, software can be installed on your computer (participants are advised to bring their own laptop, but there will be a limited number of computers available for those who do not have one) to quickly learn to use it for live coding. In the evening, everyone will perform together in front of the audience. This evening concert will be free and open to the public.
Participants will learn how to listen in place, how to use slow walking as means of a performance, and also how to use Tidal for live coding performance.
