Programme:
Photographing the Spirit of Music
Join us for a unique workshop on noble photography techniques and an adventure with photography from a time before mobile phones and fast shooting digital compact cameras appeared. For two festival days, you can turn into an early 20th-century photographer who uses a large-format camera, carefully chooses the frame, has no option to take series of photos and has only a limited number of collodion-covered glass plates at hand. The participants will have a unique opportunity to photograph both artists and the atmosphere of East of Culture – Different sounds 2017 using old-type cameras. At the end, the created works will be displayed inside Festival club.

How to open the ears? Introduction to field recording
Instructor: Marcin (emiter) Dymiter/ for ages 16+
Sound – a readable medium that is accessible, and yet marginalised in the context of visual culture. Frequently, the main task of sound is associated with entertainment or music. In the meantime, sound as a phenomenon has more value – informative, cognitive or social and most of all it is the contemporary language of art. Some interesting examples of sonic art are field recordings focused on sounds of the researched area. I want to explain the idea of field recording.
The workshop consists of practical and theoretical part and includes a brief historical outline of the phenomenon, its main principles and production of the recordings, work methods and recording techniques.
The study of the sonic environment can be the beginning of understanding one’s own identity and the character of a given place.

Orient Station – Calligraffiti workshop
We would like to invite all calligraphy enthusiasts to absolutely unique workshops of Calligraffiti, an art that combines calligraphy and street art. The workshops will take place during this year’s East of Culture – Different Sounds. They will be run by Taras Makar, a calligrapher from Kiev
This workshop is intended for people who are taking their first steps in calligraphy but have already acquired some basic skills. During the two-day workshop, the participants will try their hand at different techniques of writing letters and create their own compositions. On the second day, they will work on creating a large-format work that translates the fables of Biernat of Lublin into a visual language. The increasingly popular art of calligraffiti allows us to experiment, interpret and play with letters and this is what the participants will experience.

MUSIC IN – music industry workshops
Dynamic changes in international music markets force artists to be authors but also owners of artistic start-ups. That is why we will touch upon such topics as designing custom development strategies, creating a vision and managing music projects over time. We will show the significance of storytelling and describe one’s own work. We will also show how to present an effective presentation and cultivate good relations in the sector. Everyone interested is also welcome to join a lecture introducing the secrets and structure of the music sector and a practical workshop on writing effective e-mails to various entities involved with music.The workshops will be conducted by practitioners – Magdalena Jensen and Magda Chołyst of Chimes Agency and Radek Chudzio from the Polish branch of Fource Entertainment. Each workshop is a separate event but we would like to encourage you to take part in the whole series of workshops, designed to deliver comprehensive knowledge required for the skilful navigation around the music sector.
Polish-only. Requires advance registration.
