Effect devices: A Universe of Sound
-An exploration of the traditional and unorthodox uses of pedals / effect-processing devices-
Addressed to musicians of all instruments, the workshop will cover all effects – from the widely-known distortion, delay and reverb, to more ‘out there’ filters such as ring modulators and bit crushers. All sorts of sound sources will be touched upon, ranging from acoustic and electric instruments to no-input self-generating applications.
