OBSERVING WITH HEARING:
How to tell stories through sound

In this workshop we’ll learn to make films with sounds and dress up images with sounds. In general, we’ve learnt to tell stories with words and pictures, though comics, books, television and cinema. However, we’ve got used to using our hearing mainly to listen to music, using completely different rules. But fortunately we don’t just listen to music. Sounds, noises, distances, echoes, trembling, dangers and even emotions are all in there. And without them we cannot explain our world.
