Magical Mystery Soundscape Tour Workshop

What is the Magical Mystery Soundscape Tour? First of all it’s a joke remembering the title of the famous Beatles album (Magical Mystery Tour), we thought to something new, something that was half vacation / half workshop, an immersive training experience of 3 days with the aim of deepening through face-to-face meetings ( at Rumore Bianco Studio – headquarters in Conversano near Bari, in South Italy) and soundwalks on specific paths in the neighbouring locations, the great theme of the soundscape and its continuous changing and how it can be reused in a creative way for artistic purposes (musical productions, installations, live exhibitions).

Rumore Bianco Studio is happy to host its first traveling training workshop focused on the soundscape’s theme through a minivan tour (it will be our main means of transport, feets too) in the towns of Conversano, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, in Puglia, in the south east of the province of Bari (Italy).

Overall duration: 12 hours divided into 3 meetings + excursions (soundwalk) in the historic center of Conversano, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli.
