Working with students from Newham Sixth Form College (New Vic) doing the National Diploma in Music, the challenge was to respond to Iniva's exhibition, Zineb Sedira's 'Currents of Time' and in the process augment existing skills, learn new skills, encounter alternative ways of seeing and doing, and to work and be productive working to deadlines within strict time contraints. Using still photography and sound recordings and editing and production softwares: Still Life, Photoshop, iPhoto, iMovie, Logic, Garageband and Final Cut Pro the directive over the two days was for the students to create a new or alternative narrative by giving shape to an assemblage of movements around a frozen moment. To create additional layers of meaning and/ or new meanings by surfing the detail in a photograph(s), and crucially animating it by adding a sound collage.
The workshop proved inspiring and very productive. It also suggested new ways to use musical instrumention and composition abilities. The micro-sonic short movie below by two of the participating students illustrates the creative possibilities referenced above:
