**** Workshop opportunity for students with Sound Recordist Chris Watson at
Kew Gardens****
Monday 9th August, 9.45am-5.30pm
OR Tuesday 24th August, 9.45 – 5.30pm
Participants will have the rare opportunity to engage with Chris Watson’s
expertise in natural world sound recording. Starting off with an
introduction to Chris’ work and the recording techniques that he uses,
participants will go on to explore and record sounds within Kew Gardens.
The workshop will close with an opportunity for the participants to listen
back and analyse the sounds they have collected.
Previous experience and a familiarity with sound recording practice is
necessary for this workshop. Please bring any sound recording equipment you
may have and would like to use, and a laptop if you wish (hard disk
recorders will be available for those that don’t have their own). Please
also bring a packed lunch (although there are places to buy food at Kew)
and suitable clothing for the outdoors, whatever the weather may be! The
workshop is limited to 15 participants, so early registration is required.
The workshop is £11.50 plus a booking fee of £1.43 = £12.93. This cost
is to cover your entry to Kew Gardens (standard admission is £13.50) and
includes your participation in the workshop. An absolute bargain! Please
