About this FieldTrip

Soundscapes have an origin in the film soundtrack industry, but these days most people are familiar with them through meditation and focus apps.

As the creator of Infinity Waves, an ambient label, join along with Elliott Fienberg and learn different ways to get started making your own soundscapes. This is great for anyone who wants to expand their creative pallette, but also yoga + meditation instructors, healers and musicians will find useful takeaways from this workshop as well.

We will take a look at using tools like the Voice Memos app on your phone, the web app Bandlab and more tools to add to your kit.

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ This field trip will start with some history of the sound art world, lightly touching on people like Pauline Oliveros and John Cage who helped popularize the concept of Deep Listening.

✔️ We will then break down each step starting with field recording and moving onto audio editing and mixing. You will be given a set of pre-made files (stems) and shown how to mix them in free tools like Bandlab or Audacity.

✔️ This is designed to be an approachable workshop designed for anyone who is curious to try this new area out, and they don’t need any prior experience except for being a good listener to the world around them.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
