Audio Feedback as a Creative Tool

Audio feedback can be an unbounded fury that screeches, thunders, and pierces the air, but within its chaos lives vast potential for dynamic sonic behaviours and colour. In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of working with feedback in an eardrum-friendly way while maintaining its liveliness. Topics will include tools and techniques for safely and creatively interacting with audio feedback, notable feedback artists, works, and instruments, and non-audio uses of feedback. Participants will have opportunities for hands-on experience with feedback using microphones, speakers, contact mics and exciters, feedback instruments, and various processing tools. Working with feedback suggests an entangled understanding of sound that may be of particular interest to artists working in sound art, media art, and experimental music.
