Sound Design Camp

The Sound Design Camp is a recording and music production camp for youth presented by the Found Sound Project. Learners will spend a week creating, capturing and modifying sound for use in digital music-making. Each composer in the project performs many roles – listener, sound recordist, audio engineer, player, editor, and storyteller – in order to produce a composition that captures each learner’s unique way of listening and playing. Campers are guided in their exploration of modern digital tools through engaging, personalized instruction both in the field and the sound lab. Through this process, learners will gain hands-on experience with microphones, MIDI controllers, computers, and the industry-leading audio workstation Ableton Live 11. Guided by experienced musicians and composers, learner's will develop their unique artistic identity and deepen their relationship to the rich sonic world that surrounds us
