Field Recording Workshop by Hear and Found (Thailand)

Presented by The Listening Biennial, a highlight of The Singapore Night Festival

Join us for a Field Recording Workshop hosted by music publishers and artists Hear & Found (Thailand) at Objectifs - Centre for Photography & Film. Known for their sensitive and ethical approach to working with indigenous communities in Thailand, Hear & Found will guide you towards opening up your senses to the city through sound. This hands-on workshop will teach you the basics of field recording techniques on your mobile phone and the workshop will close with a collective reflection of your recording. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this workshop is perfect for anyone interested in exploring the world of sound recording and experiencing the city in a whole new auditory way!

Post-workshop, you're invited to visit Hear & Found's sound installation, Earthsong: Indigenous Harmony from Thailand at Stamford Arts Centre, which immerses you in the songs and nature sounds of the Karen community.
