freezer cheese: How to make Electronic Sound Compositions w/prOphecy sun

Sound is everywhere and integrated into every aspect of human and non-human experience, infrastructure, and systems. This video explores the basics of sound making and how to produce electronic compositions using handheld devices, apps, smartphones and other DIY tools.
Oxygen Art Centre presents the first phase of an online youth arts education program entitled freezer cheese. Generously supported by the BC Arts Council Pivot Program, freezer cheese offers a series of six free art demonstration videos and gift cards to purchase art supplies for youth (ages 15 - 30).
Instructors include regional artists and musicians, Jaymie Johnson, Rayya Liebich, Kristy Gordon, Deborah Thompson, prOphecy sun, and Brian Lye, and features a digital animation by Jonathan Ramos and a soundtrack by ok vancouver ok. All six of the videos are edited by emerging videographer Grady Robertson.
The overarching project takes place until April 2022 under the title, freezer cheese, derived from the fated piece of cheese-dairy or otherwise-that sits safely in the freezer awaiting the moment it is needed for nutrition, for comfort, for enjoyment. It is a reminder of the ongoing pandemic, but also evokes a sense of play and curiosity.
Art demonstration videos are available on Oxygen’s RUclips channel and website. Register for a free art supply gift card to Cowan’s Office Supplies Ltd. by visiting the following link or visiting Oxygen’s website. Gift cards are available for youth, ages 15 - 30, on a first come first serve basis.
This project is generously supported by British Columbia Arts Council and Cowan’s Office Supplies Ltd.
