Mixing Sound & Vision

This two-hour participatory music production workshop explores the digital technologies that musicians use to create contemporary music, and how these technologies can interact with visual art in new ways.

Join experienced music practitioners, led by Oxford-based artist Rawz (Urban Music Foundation), for a hands-on demonstration of the latest music industry hardware and software, and have a go at co-producing new music. Discover how these production techniques can interact with emerging digital and visual tools, including generative AI, to create visual artworks connected to the music.

The workshop is a fantastic opportunity to identify innovative ways art, music, and digital technologies can interact, engage and inspire, with an additional focus on how digital tools, when combined with music, function as an expression of human emotion.

This is a relaxed, informal event, and no prior knowledge of music production is required. Light refreshments provided.

This workshop is part of the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub programme and the event is funded by the TORCH Performance Research Hub and Jesus College.
