Hezekina Pollutina presents an Ableton Live Beginners Weekend
Workshop For Women on Saturday and Sunday, September 26-27.
Instructed G.rizo, the workshop will take place at
METALAB, Rauthausstrasse 6, in ....Vienna..... Due to limited space,
people who are interested in reserving a spot are advised to
RSVP via email to: hezekinapollutina@gmail.com
This 2-day weekend workshop is geared towards "absolute
beginners," providing an overview of Ableton Live--the ultimate tool
for "do- it-yourself" music production. Aimed at people who are
interested in working with electronic sound for diverse purposes, this
course will explore all the basic elements of using Ableton Live, from
recording to production to live performance. Instructed by Ihu Anyanwu, who makes her own noise as electro artist G.rizo (Int. DJ Gigolo Records), these ladies can expect to be banging out their own imaginative tracks by the end of the weekend!
Why is it only for Women? Says G.rizo, "As a beginners course, its
not so much about excluding guys, rather than it being about pulling
up the ladies in a field dominated by men. By offering a relaxed and all
female learning setting, I am hoping that more ladies feel encouraged to learn and gain confidence as producers."
Divided into 2 days (each 7 hours long), the workshop includes
demonstrations, practice exercises, and original song production.
Day 1 is a beginners tour of Ableton Live--participants learn about
Ableton's interface, tools and unique terminology. Diving right in they
explore the software by working on tracks using pre-existing loops
and the built-in midi instruments.
Day 2 gets more into details about music production--including
learning about audio effects, automation and mixing. There are also
tips for sound design, production planning and file management.
Special Offer:
Participants in this Workshop Weekend will receive a 14 day licensed
version of Ableton Live 8, with full functionality so its possible to save
files and export songs. Also participants will receive 50E off the purchase
of Ableton Live software in the Ableton.com Webshop.
Requirements for Participation:
- Laptop with mobile Internet connectivity e.g. via Airport and/or other Wifi possibility (required)
- Ableton Live Software (Free 14 day license available to participants)
- Headphones
- Fee: 100E for weekend
