Creative Field Recording for Expanded Sound Design
With lead instructor Maile Colbert and guests Andrea Williams, Zach Poff, Bonnie Jones, Kevin T. Allen, Monteith McCollum and Raquel Castro
What comes together through sound is emergent and passing time — a sense of duration, the field of memory, a fullness of space that lies beyond touch and out of sight, hidden from vision (…) Through that strange anomaly of the senses, the way we perceive the world and the ways in which we represent those perceptions, we strain to hear what can never be there. ­­ — David Toop, Sinister Resonance
Sound has a special relationship to emotion, instinct, and memory, both individual and collective. Tapping into an ancient area of our brain, sound provides immediate information telling us where we are, if it is safe, and how we should feel about that. “Based on hearing, listening (from an anthropological point of view) is the very sense of space and of time..,” Roland Barthes wrote in his 1985 essay, Listening. Barthes further notes, “[N]oises have been the immediate raw materials of a divination, (cledonomancy): to listen is, in an institutional manner, to try to find out what is happening”.

This three-day intensive and immersive workshop, produced by UnionDocs and lead instructor – sound artist, designer, and researcher Maile Colbert – will have its participants considering the path from listening, to recording, to designing sound for various project forms, covering topics and techniques from listening to Deep Listening, soundwalks and sound recording in the field, the relationship between the soundscape and sound design, and what is carried and created on the path from recording and recordings, to sound art, performance, and design.
