Sounds, Stories & Springtime – An Audio Retreat in the beautiful Hudson Valley

Hurray – an audio workshop/retreat in my neck of the woods! Come study the art of sound with two fine producers in their beautiful Hudson Valley home. I'll be on hand for the BBQ on Saturday night and would LOVE to meet some audio-loving FC members. Drop me a line if you have questions, or contact Eileen directly at emcadam@hvc.rr.com.

Sounds, Stories & Springtime

An Audio Retreat

Spend a weekend in the Catskills honing your skills as a sound recordist and storyteller while reinvigorating your creative spirit. Veteran Producers Jim Metzner and Eileen McAdam lead this immersive experience in field recording, listening, and the art of bringing stories to life with sound.

Limited to eight intermediate producers, the workshop offers personal attention and also leaves time for reflection, community, and learning from each other.

Friday night includes a special appearance by musician Steve Gorn, and an evening listening excursion to explore the acoustics of a nearby cave. Saturday night is for storytelling and barbeque!

• Learn to weave a narrative with natural sounds

• Expand your audio palette

• Experiment with binaural, stereo and parabolic microphones

• Crafting a narrative that weaves and contextualizes your sounds.
