This year’s Summer School of Sound will be led by internationally acclaimed sound artist collective GOTO10.

Marloes de Valk and Aymeric Mansoux will lead a three day course, exploring open source software available for home studio purposes such as audio and midi sequencers, sound editors and virtual effect racks, as well as the creative possibilities of puredata in an audio workstation setup.

The Summer School of Sound will also include an evening performance on Thursday 28 June by goto10 artists de Valk and Mansoux, as well as Claude Heiland-Allen and Chun Lee.

The three day summer school is aimed at musicians, designers, artists and those with an interest in multimedia technologies who want to explore how new digital technologies can help and inspire us when working with music and sound.

Participants do not need a high level of technological or programming skills, although these would be beneficial. A strong interest in one or more of the following areas is essential: sound art, music, technology, open source software.

The Summer School is free, but places are strictly limited. To apply for a place please email Jennifer Stoddart, Programme Co-ordinator at jennifer.stoddart@folly.co.uk with brief details of your background, interest and experience in the areas listed above, and an indication of your level of computer literacy.

Please note you must be able to attend all 3 days of the Summer School.
