Current & Past Events
Colourschool Listening Lab: Red
colourschool listening labs are a series of active research and listening sessions devoted to aural explorations of colour. Each session will focus on a particular hue from the colourschool palette and will add music as well as sound works to a larger, more comprehensive archive. Soundtracks from each session will be made available by podcast or in house.
Participants are invited to bring relevant song titles and or files to each session or may, alternately, make recommendations through the posts section of the colourschool website.
