This workshop is an introduction to binaural recording, a technique that uses miniature microphones placed in a person’s ears to capture their immediate environment. The microphones act as virtual ears, and when played back through headphones, a stereo reproduction of the three-dimensional sound environment originally captured is heard.

Participants will build their own binaural microphone for use with a portable audio recorder, and take part in a sound walk.

This class will involve soldering.
