    Field Recording

    Workshop on soundscape recording

    From natural sound recording to musical deviations: an apprenticeship for musicians, music business and radio professionals, naturalists, architects, and anyone wishing to approach field recording and soundscape construction.

     

    The workshop’s objectives are to provide basic instruments for the recording, creation, and reworking of a natural soundscape with special attention given to birdsongs.
    The workshop will be held in the beautiful natural landscape of the Stagni di Focognano WWF Oasis by Bernard Fort, the internationally renowned French master in the disciplines of field recording and ornithological music. The biologist and director of the Stagni di Focognano WWF Oasis Carlo Scoccianti will also be present at the workshop.
