SOUND AS A MEANS TO ENGAGE
Audio media, ICTs and oral history
8th July 2010, 10-5 National Theatre/Kampala –CICP, 2-6p.m
A one-day interactive introduction to the tools and concepts of “slow broadcasting” online archiving and audio correspondence as based on creative commons (cc.) share-alike license distribution
with Claudia Wegener (alias, radio continental drift)
For artists, collectives and organizations around UNCC; the session is also meant as a collective consultancy & ‘strategic’ idea exchange between the organizations involved; how by using above tools links and collective productions between those organizations can be furthered and thus common goals pushed even harder and more effectively.
including various ways of recording, uploading & capturing audio, clipping, editing, mixing as story telling, uploading online, creating on-line audio archives, setting up a blog and linking audio files to it, creating on-line platforms etc.
please bring pen & paper, your mobile phone (especially if it can record audio!) and other voice recording equipment you might have (including mics and headphones); if you have a laptop and its no trouble bringing it, please do.
resources: an interactive audio application, the publication of the NO-GO-ZONES project called “influence100”, and a sound-file telling the story of the DURBAN SINGS audio media and oral history project “the rough radio mix” are on the desktop of the computer in the UNCC resource centre. This is a free learning session and it’s open to all interested individuals.

radio continental drift
a broadcasting house in the bag of a drifter out to here unheard voices
a branch of the growing networks of sound workers,
audio artists, radio communities, and the street corner academies of listening and broadcasting
around the world
radio is happening
when people loiter in public places
the air is free!
