Participants will learn how to create a one hour long transportive soundscape from music, poetry, field recordings, effects and more - using whatever sounds they like to transport the listener to their own magical sonic world. They will consider the message they want to get across - whether their aim is relaxing, educating or discombobulating their audience - and will learn audio editing skills in Reaper, from the basics of cutting, levels and fades to more advanced aspects of sound design, including reverb and mixing. 

This workshop is delivered by Kit Callin -  they have delivered workshops for audio editing and music radio production for places like Saffron and Good Growth Hub, and have run workshops with young people for Space Kids CIC. Kit also runs the monthly radio residency Mooar Residency on Resonance FM which supports individuals to create their own hour long radio show of whatever they like.
