Experimental Sound Studio | Chicago, IL

Quince Ensemble’s second annual contemporary and experimental voice workshop will take place September 19-22, 2024 at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago, IL. This program invites singers and creative voice-users to delve into their craft in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Participants will engage in a variety of activities including contemporary and experimental vocal techniques, studio recording practices, vocal pedagogy, improvisation, graphic notation, new approaches to harmony, and composing for the voice. There will also be tailored sessions focusing on professional development and career management in contemporary music.

The workshop will feature guest artist Kate In, an audio engineer, sound designer, and musician who has released several original albums and helped many artists realize their own artistic vision. Kate will lead workshops and provide guidance on creating and recording in a studio setting.

The workshop culminates in a studio recording session where participants will have the opportunity to record a solo piece in the state-of-the-art recording facility at Experimental Sound Studio.
