Three Exploring workshops with Juan Castrillón
Juan Castrillón, a cultural anthropologist, ethnomusicologist and musician whose research centers on theories of listening, leads three workshops on how sound is built and heard, part of the Neighborhood Sound Lab at AMLA Studios at Esperanza. Juan is fluent in Spanish and English, and no previous experience is needed.
- Exploring Wave Shape and Perception. Thursday, October 29, 6:30–8pm. Basic wave forms and their sonic character, and how modular systems combine them.
- Exploring Filtering. Tuesday, December 8, 6:30–8pm. How modular systems shape the frequency spectrum of the sounds passing through them.
- Exploring Accent, Cycle and Repetition. Tuesday, December 15, 6:30–8pm. Building cycles and patterns, and hearing what makes a loop groove.
Juan Castrillón dirige tres talleres sobre cómo se construye y se escucha el sonido, como parte del Neighborhood Sound Lab. Juan habla español e inglés con fluidez, y no se necesita experiencia previa.
