UWL LA.01.007

After 17 years teaching music technology in computer labs, this is a soundscape I have become very familiar with. Having set the class the task of reworking field recordings recorded by primary children, students busily engage with editing and arranging. Clicks of mice, typing on QWERTY keyboards and hammering on MIDI controller keyboards dominates, with glimpses of the sound worlds the students are inhabiting emanating from headphones every now and again. Occasional rustles of clothing, coughs and sighs are all underpinned by the pulsing drone of the air conditioning. (Matched pair of Sennheiser 8020s and Jecklin to a SD MixPre6)
