Alongside dot tape dot, attendees will learn advanced techniques on vocal treatment (autotune, vocoder, looping …) and advanced techniques for electronic music creation (synthesizers, effects, drum machines …), as well as teamwork, self-organization, decision making and distribution of tasks.
The workshop is designed around a practical case: the participation in a concert by Asturian project dot tape dot, which will take place the 25th of July at Museu del Pueblu d’Asturies, during the festival. The choir will distribute the pertinent tasks for each musical composition, and dot tape dot will technically and conceptually assist the members, combining the activities of the workshop with the activities of the concert.
