In this workshop we will: 1) record sound, 2) clean up sound clips in audacity, and 3) edit and mix tracks in Hindenburg (or another program of choice). We will also have a Q&A/discussion. EthnoFest February 23-24, GSE and Annenberg A Collaboration between GSE’s Ethnography of Education Forum and CAMRA’s Screening Scholarship Media Festival Making Audiovisual Arguments in Ethnomusicology CAMRA Members’ Works-in-Progress Screenings (Juan Castrillón) Tuesday, February 27th, 5:15pm Department of Music, Lerner Center, Room 101 ~KIRANIA (Long Clarinets), and PAMI KIRAMI (Long House) are two short film projects of Juan Castrillón's ongoing fieldwork. The first shows how a pair of long clarinets is made within an indigenous group at the Northwestern Amazon in Colombia, and the second film addresses the process of building a distinct place for music performance after 45 years of its absence. The multimodal process of making a film without silencing fieldwork dynamics from the postproduction emerges as a vibrant platform where debates in ethnomusicology are called to acquire a creative role. A role in which indigenous and non-indigenous audiovisual perspectives assemble each other within cinematic contours. From this light, films authored by ethnomusicologists come to represent their assumptions about the realities they study, rather than been documents acting in themselves as transparent glances to the life of the people researchers study with. The presentation combines a lecture and workshop style in which Castrillón introduces and analyzes some sequences of the aforementioned films, along with the discussion about how film editing and narrative styles connect with his dissertation.
