Commissioned Artist Masterclass With Chris Falconer / Waiting Space

In this hands-on masterclass, Imagine's 2026 Commissioned Artist Chris Falconer (Waiting Space) shares how the tools most of us already own — a laptop, a phone, cheap software — have quietly become a full recording studio, editing suite and instrument all at once. Drawing on his own journey from musician to audiovisual artist, Chris walks through recording and layering sound, building a track from scratch, and bringing music and moving image together into one piece of work.

No previous experience is needed. Whether you're a musician curious about the visual side of your work, a visual artist wanting to bring in sound, or simply curious how far a laptop can take you, you'll leave with a real sense of where to start — and the confidence to keep going.
