Avid Learning, in collaboration with Furtados and Royal Opera House, Mumbai presents an experiential masterclass on the theory and practice of understanding ambient sound.

Explore a range of music making practices for devised theatre and ensemble music; reimagined for enthusiasts and established music practitioners in a laboratory environment. The masterclass will focus on different performative and musical elements: experimental ensemble and singing/chorus work, collaborative composition, voice in space, soundscape and narrative building. The masterclass is designed to facilitate participants to take an active role in co-creating a short devised musical ‘scene’.

Highlights:

·       Gain a broad historical overview of voice / sound production from a Western classical perspective.

·       Understand the acoustic environment as perceived by humans, mediated through both natural and artificial sound sources.

·       How to shape sounds and noises into building narrative in order to create real and imagined spaces not only in audio genres but also in everyday storytelling.

·       Learn the dynamics of ensemble sound creation.

·       An experience of collaborative composition and devising a new piece of 'music theatre' with fellow participants.

Join us for an immersive musical experience.
