Indian music vocalist Supriya Nagarajan is joined with electronic music specialist Jess Aslan and Metal producer Mark Mynett to deliver a fusion project on Indian vocal music and performance, computer music and studio based music production. The weekend will use professional facilities as it is hosted at the University of Huddersfield. You will learn music technology fundamentals such as sound recording, production and making your own beats, as well as the structure and use of Indian musical scales, giving you the building blocks to make your own pop music remix. You will then have the opportunity to explore your own sounds in a professional music recording studio, where you will be guided on how to edit and create your own original piece of music within the studio itself!
