This book is intended for people who identify more as creative than technical and would like to be able to record themselves. It recasts sound, listening and recording in language and concepts that are relatably human. It’s fun, kind and self revealing using language that is personal and artistically relatable. The book has creative exercises (writing, drawing, sounding, recording) to help you to understand and develop your life-connected and musical relationship with sound. Starting with phone recording, it ultimately guides you through basic recording with a computer at home. The final project is to create a new folio of artworks, writing and recorded music about your home. Translations, Conversations and Atmospheres is unique, as are you and your relationship to sound and recording.
