Foley; noun: Relating to or concerned with the addition of recorded sound effects after the shooting of a film.
Foley Nights invites you to make live foley in response to a selection of film clips. Discover the world of cinematic sound effects - from breaking your enemy's bones, to going for a winter walk across some freshly fallen snow.
Rather than a traditional workshop, Foley Nights invites you to experiment directly with objects and their unexpected sonic potential. You’ll respond to short film clips by creating your own live sound effects using carefully chosen materials – from pebbles and plastic, to sticks, hot-water bottles, and celery – all amplified through specialist microphones including contact mics and hydrophones. No prior experience is needed.
Delivered by Modus Arts, a sonic arts organisation delivering sound-based projects across the UK. Modus provides specialist microphones and sound generating equipment so everyone can have a go at creating their own live sound effects.
Modus Arts draw on interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to developing public-facing sound-based artworks and events. In 2023 we became a National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England.
