Event

Many in our community enjoy playing with sound technology, and are passionate about music, but are afraid to take the step into composition. I'm here to tell you that the rules of what sounds good are simpler than you think, and based on math. And that once you know these rules, you can also break them in creative ways. We will talk about the harmonic series, rhythm, and flow of energy, all illustrated with examples. We will also see the basics of sound design, maybe go over simple tools that make a good DJ, and if we have enough time we will touch on psychoacoustics and other fun and surprising tricks in creating sound. There are no prerequisites here, we're starting from scratch. If you have a digital audio workstation on your laptop already, bring it, but you'll enjoy yourself either way. ZaGa is a music producer and composer, who loves tinkering on the frontier of audio technology. https://zaga.bandcamp.com/
