My Favorite Sound is You is a series of events focused around expanded listening, sonic adventuring and noisey experimentation. Over the course of two days, sound artist Johann Diedrick will host three events: an analog noise workshop on creating handmade sound electronics, a listening tour that takes ‘acoustic explorers’ to find sounds unheard and sounds yet made, and an artist talk around his own investigations into reimagining our aural environment.

Sound Workshop
Friday July 15th 7-9pm
In this 2 hour workshop, we will take a handful of wires and resistors and create cacophonous bleeps and bloops. We will work through three basic circuits, making simple square wave oscillators, elevate to 8-bit sounding tones, and graduate to a simple sequencer that you can use for live performances, public installations and any other sound-related projects. This hands-on workshop will provide tips and tricks for making your own instruments or interactive noise machines, with time to experiment and customize as you learn about electronics and sound. Prepare to get noisy and loud.

Sound Tours

Good Vibrations Acoustic Cartography Tour is an interactive listening tour made to shift the way we relate to our environment through sound. The tour uses a mobile listening kit that allows participants to tap into of the least audible sounds of a city and explore the city's cracks and surfaces. A field guide for urban listening directs users to acoustic ‘points of interest.'
