Everyday Objects
In collaboration with Hannah Fredsgaard-Jones, Julia designed a workshop series on composition with everyday objects. Starting from four playful composition tasks, participants get to explore the sound qualities of a range of objects, and collaboratively compose, record and refine short sound pieces. These tasks are designed with a thematic framework as well as the background of participants in mind.
Quotes from students at Hugh Middleton Primary School about Everyday Objects:
”What I enjoyed in this workshop was that I could experience how different people think."
”I learned that you can make really cool sounds with just like a whistle, plastic bag, random metal, bottle and a box of rice!”
”I enjoyed it most when we were recording the sounds that we were making and listening to other people’s creations.”
"I enjoyed that we worked as a team.”
Hannah and Julia have led Everyday Objects for Barbican Creative Learning.
