About Soft Noise Skill Share

The Soft Noise Skillshare is a series of bimonthly workshops highlighting women, trans, and non-binary sound artists and practitioners. These events, aimed at demystifying the sound-making process and addressing barriers to entry in the audio fields, are open to all skill levels and experience, ranging from absolute beginner to professional.

Soft Noise Skillshares encourage inquiry, exchange, improvisation, and play for all in attendance in order to demystify the sound production process and address barriers to entry in the audio field for those who do not identify as cis-gendered male. With input from community members, curator Meredith Haines is bringing together women, non-binary, and transgendered hosts from many corners of sound, such as field recording, DAW operation, hardware hacking, synthesis, and more.

Artists will develop events around their own strengths, with each installment typically including elements of performance, artist talk, lecture, hands-on workshop, and experimentation session. 

Soft Noise Skillshares are open to women and gender-nonconforming participants of all skill levels, ranging from enthusiast to professional.
