About Us
We will hold weekly meetups where members can work on, share projects, offer feedback and learn from each other, all our members will need to do is bring their laptop, their ideas, or even just their ears.
We plan on teaming up with students all around the university – film, games, music, journalism, theatre, and more. We intend on running field recording trips and sound walks around Edinburgh, and possibly further, to help build our members own library of original recordings and for us all to explore how sound interacts with the world around us.
Our members often share tips, tools and techniques from understanding the fundamentals of a software to learning how sound itself can be manipulated. We will also urge for our members with their own methods to hold mini sessions to show off their own skills for others to learn. These sessions will be targeted at looking over everything you may need but if you begin to struggle or feel the society has missed something then don't be afraid about speaking up as we also are passionate about setting up informal peer mentoring! So don’t worry, there will always be someone in this community to help you out.
The times and days are aimed at being flexible with our members and due to this our schedule remains undecided, however, you will be kept up to date and may find the information you’re looking for on our social media page.
The sessions we hold will be perfect for those working on foley, field recording, sound editing or any audio-related projects. The collaboration with other students will allow the chance for continuous opportunities to open, from the chance to edit the voiceovers for an animated game to manipulating live sound in a musical. No experience is required from our members whatsoever, we don’t mind if you have tons of professional experience and can tell us tons of knowledge with sound or if you have just decided to try-out a new field of study and don’t know what an LFO is and what it does this society is open to everyone of all levels.
This society is not only for improving your skill and portfolio we are also passionate on getting our members to publish their original work into the world and we believe we can achieve this by offering free entry into events such as the fringe or the Edinburgh short film festival etc. We believe having this opportunity will cause our members motivation to thrive while also improving their portfolio and gaining real experience in real production environments. We believe in constructive feedback, encouragement and expressing our knowledge between each other, this society is passionate for being more supportive than competitive so if you just want someone to listen to your ideas without pressure then this society is just the place is exactly the place for you.
This society aims to be a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone, if you have any specific needs or ideas for how we could be more inclusive, let us know and we will strive to ensure everyone is satisfied and comfortable inside this society.
