About the workshop:
Glossolalia: Listening and Emitting - workshops by Gail Priest and Matt Warren
Emitting and Listening will be for 8 people maximum per instructor and will run concurrently.
Each workshop will be held at the Plimsoll and nearby areas. The workshops will be quick turnaround projects, based on raw discovery and not so much refinement. With this in mind, participants should have a basic understanding of sound and computer interfaces as there will only be minor basic instruction of these.
The overriding thematic will be “hidden or obscured languages and information”, with the purpose that participants will create a sound piece that expresses these ideas.
Workshops will be approximately 3 hours long with a 30 min lunch break.
Participants will have a sound piece to take away with them as a WAV and mp3 file.
We would like to invite the participants to contribute their work to an online archive showcasing their piece.
Glossolalia: Emitting with Gail Priest
Gail will oversee a presentation of voice/vocalisation examples from other artists that show non-lyrical vocalisations, singing with and against other non-human sounds and the use of a voice as a sonic texture. She will instruct participants on how they might score a piece, how to record voice and how it may be manipulated digitally, or with analogue devices.
Book Emitting with Gail Priest
Glossolalia: Listening with Matt Warren
Matt will oversee a deep listening-like exercise and give examples of artists who use the environment and field recordings as part of their practice. He will instruct on recording sounds out in the field or manipulation of found objects/places (such as percussion) using portable Zoom recorders or even via their phone. He will oversee the construction of soundscapes using this material.

He performs and records electro-acoustic and drone works under his own name and collaborates with others under a number of monikers. His practice is informed by psychedelia, digital abstraction and hauntology. https://www.mattwarrenartist.com/
