EXPLODE THE MOMENT! AUDIO STORYTELLING AND SOUND ART with Guillaume Jabbour (Regional Artist: SWLSB)

Students learn about the craft of storytelling using song lyrics and poetry as the medium. Award-winning
songwriter and sound artist Guillaume Jabbour guides students in understanding how an ordinary moment can
be exploded into a work of art using accessible writing exercises and literary aspects such as, voice, metaphor,
simile, and personification. Once the pieces of writing have been drafted, edited, revised, and finalized,
students record themselves performing their pieces using a digital voice recorder and experience the editing
and mixing process. Each piece can be further enhanced with sounds recorded by students. The final audio
pieces are featured online and made shareable.

Themes: Other than Arts, the workshop incorporates elements of STEAM. This workshop provides an opportunity for discussion about belonging in Quebec.

Materials: Paper, pencil, voice recorder app on smartphone or similar, digital voice recorders (provided by
Guillaume).
