How do you translate sound into words? How do you pin down music, ethereal and without body, onto the page? In this workshop, The Wire's deputy editor Anne Hilde Neset will explore various approaches to writing about sound: journalistic, fictional, personal, historical and theoretical. The workshop will sample music and sound clips and discuss how sonic experience can be put into words, and will include reading various examples of writing on sound and debating their different approaches and effects. Participation is open to the public with prior registration.
