Dartmoor Listening Retreat 2009
Following the success of our first Dartmoor listening retreat last year, composer Richard Povall and myself are running a second one in May (14-17th).
The retreat gives participants the space and time to immerse themselves in the sound environment of this unique place, to learn more about the various sounds, especially the many and varied voices of animals and to spend time responding creatively to what is heard.
In particular we'll be out and about day and night doing sound walks, learning the songs and calls of birds and other creatures that live on the moors and simply taking pleasure in the flow of water over stone or the soft whisper of the breeze in the trees. We'll also make field recordings of the various sounds which we'll then edit and use as the basis for composition - no previous knowlege is necessary as we'll show particpants how to do this. We will also consider other ways of responding to what is heard, visually and with text.
The retreat is particulalrly designed for artists wanting to build an appreciation of the natural sonic environment into their work and individuals who would like to include work with sound in community/environmental arts projects.
