IKLECTIK presents,
Experimental Digital DJing Workshop
Saturday 27 May 2023 | 10am – 1pm
Tickets: £40 (advance booking required) https://link.dice.fm/L0bbb8eae1a9
All abilities welcome. Suitable for those with an interest in experimental music who want to learn about DJ technology, or DJs who wish to expand their practice.
Explore audio materials, techniques and structure! Working with field recordings made on your phone, we will see how these and other audio materials can be used for creative DJing and sound manipulation. You will learn techniques in a free digital DJ app and there will be hardware DJ controllers setup to get your hands on.
We will also explore approaches for spatialising DJ performances on a multi-channel sound system, ‘Worldizing’ techniques, DJing as a Deep Listening practice, and there will be an opportunity for group improvisation.
As part of a PhD at the University of Birmingham inspired by experimental turntablism and his own expansive career as a DJ and live performer, Jake Williams has been developing DJ workshops as an integral part of his creative practice. The workshops explore these techniques and technologies as a uniquely immediate and tactile way to explore experimental sound and music.
