In this workshop we’ll explore how we can make an audio soundscape, effects and foley using looped sounds and a loop station. You’ll use your voice and body to create vocal foley sound design, Beatbox/musical rhythms and harmonies and learn how to breakdown a sound into components to blur the lines between atmosphere, sound scaping and song/music composition.
