1 Level // 6 Sessions // 9 hours of hands on instruction

Polish your beats & instrumentation by narrowing in on two crucial aspects of your sonic identity: Choice of sounds and song structure. With a focus on sampling, midi instruments, effects, and leveling we'll focus on refining your sound to give it clear definition. Through a series of sketches and experimentation we'll hone in on structural aspects of a variety of genres and breakdown the techniques used to seamlessly transition from one section of your song to the next. You'll be exposed to a variety of approaches to arrangement and composition, storytelling techniques, ways of creating tension and drama in your music. Whether hiphop, dubstep, house, ambient or anything in between here you'll expand your sonic ideas into full length songs.
