McLaren 2014 16mm Sound Workshop with Luigi Allemano

Led by Luigi Allamano from Concordia University (Montreal), these Animated Sound Workshops offer participants the unique opportunity to engage with a rare and idiosyncratic method of creating sound: by making pictures directly on 16mm film, a technique used most famously by Norman McLaren. Working with vintage tools and equipment, participants explore a step-by-step process of generating rhythmic beats and controlling pitch and volume through frame-by-frame mark-making and etching.
