Apply for our beginner music production and audio editing workshops

At the end of this month, we’ll host two courses designed to teach beginners how to work with Ableton and prepare audio ready for broadcast.

The first class, Beginners Production Course in Ableton, will introduce participants to the basics of computer-based music production, including an overview of the concepts, processes, and techniques required to bring an original musical creation to life. The class will be taught by Refuge Worldwide’s Gramrcy, a producer and DJ who also runs the label Peach Discs with Shanti Celeste. Every other Monday between September 20 and November 15, he’ll teach students how to use synths, drums, samplers, and more.

Our second class, Jingle Workshop, will teach participants how to create and edit audio soundbites by working with jingles. The instructor, Refuge Worldwide resident Gabriel Gifford (pictured), will provide an overview of how to make broadcast-ready productions by working with voice recording and audio effects with Ableton Live. Gifford has hosted and produced shows for Noods Radio, Radio Alhara, NTS, BBC Radio 1, and more. This class will happen one time only on September 27.

Apply for Gramrcy’s class here and Gabriel Gifford’s here. We’ll be accepting submissions until Wednesday, September 15.

All classes are free of charge and will take place at our studios in Neukölln. Priority will be given to persons from marginalised backgrounds.
