The recording workshop with Murray Collier will be broken into two parts as participants will explore the different approaches to recording sounds as well as experimenting with production using both analogue and digital processes.

Starting on January 20 and running through to April 6 the programme was founded by the music and arts festival Counterflows this year and is supported by the public body Creative Scotland.

The sessions are free and for those who fit the age range, are based in Glasgow and face barriers to creative opportunities.

There is a limited capacity on the course and it will be based on a first come, first serve basis.
