Join 2023 Oram Award winning artist, Natalie Roe for a 3 hour explorative workshop aimed at introducing or developing participants' experience of using sampling in music. This workshop is for women and gender diverse participants.

Throughout the session we will work to build a bank of noises and short clips of music created with the voice and electronic instruments. Led by Natalie Roe, this will be a playful session in developing a Sample pack together, which participants will then be able to take away and use to create with.

Natalie Roe is a Composer, Producer and Electronic Artist based between Cardiff and the West Midlands. She combines acoustic and electronic sounds with other mediums in an array of multidisciplinary projects. She specialises in performing live electronic soundscapes with the Modular Synthesiser which she often uses to manipulate real world sounds.
