Cork-based composer Karen Power loves to create sounds from unexpected sources using everyday objects, leaves, stones and other inspiration from the world around us. These ‘found sounds’ have a resonance with the technique in film-making where everyday sound effects are added to enhance the quality of the soundtrack. Karen will guide classes in developing a deep curiosity and ability to listen to the creative musical potential hidden in all kinds of objects. Using the colour in films as a source of inspiration and structure, Karen will help students to create their own highly original music soundscapes for film.
