Ignaz Schick > Experimental Turntablism 

Within Transart festival, the composer, performer, and turntablist Ignaz Schick holds a workshop dedicated to the practice of turntablism in music research. A historical course will be illustrated starting from John Cage, Milan Knizak, and Christian Marclay, passing through Claus Van Bebber, Philip Jeck, Martin Tetreault, eRikm and Otomo Yoshhide, among others. Various approaches and manipulation techniques of the vinyl will be shown, different mixing methods, scratch, and an exploration of the turntable – seen not just as an audio reproducer.
“The idea is not to turn those who are interested into turntablists, but to give to each the possibility of exploring and of sharing the infinite facets of this simple, but at the same time, complex practice” (I Schick).
