Participants will gather in small groups of their preferred discipline and spend the day learning about techniques, workflow and creative process.

Songwriting: Getting together and writing a song looking at lyrics, structure and harmony.

Audio Production: Getting an induction into studio recording, setting up microphones and running the sound through a professional desk.

Music Production: Making a song in Logic or Ableton, from session setup to coming up with the beat and building the track.

Screen Production: Setting up a scene, finding the right lighting and composition for your shot and capturing video through industry-standard camera equipment.

Following the individual group work students will collaborate on a hands-on project involving all four disciplines!
