Harvestworks Announces “Sounds Elemental” Intensive Audio Producers Program

Harvestworks NYC has announced the return of their “Sounds Elemental” week-long intensive audio producers class this summer (June 13 – 17).

Harvestworks is a non-profit with facilities in the Lower East Side

According to the announcement…

“Our winter 2010 session focusing on “Sky” received rave reviews from producers, including ‘I feel like my ears grew over the course of the week… I have a stronger, deeper sense of locating myself in the world in relation to sound.’ This time around, we’re taking on “Metal.” Are you up to the challenge?

We’re looking for ten producers to step up who are open to learning unconventional approaches to assembling sound and telling story! Applications are due Friday, May 6, 2011!

This opportunity may be especially appealing to those working primarily in traditional narrative and documentary formats eager to experiment with unconventional approaches to assembling sound and telling story.

Producers benefit from intensely individualized attention from renowned sound artists-teachers, NYC-based composer and performer Michael Schumacher, Harvestworks’ Hans Tammen, and public radio producer and musician Brenda Hutchinson. New York Times new media editor Amy O’Leary will also lead an afternoon mini-dive into audio slideshows – called “fascinating,” “awesome,” and “the highlight of the week” by participants.

The cost is $700. A non-refundable $350 deposit is required upon acceptance. AIR members who live outside of New York City are eligible for a small stipend to help underwrite the cost of the intensive and travel to NYC. Attendance is mandatory for all sessions. If you are unable to attend each day of the intensive, please do not apply.”
