Hands-On Techno: Live Electronics with Hardware by Amanda Chang
In this workshop by Amanda Chang, we'll be returning to the roots of electronic music production by touching and playing all things hardware. Giving you an introduction on working with physical pieces, this is a hands-on workshop to give you the ins and outs on implementing hardware into your creative process. The "Hands-On Techno: Live Electronics with Hardware" workshop seeks to emphasize the importance of cultivating fluency with hardware instruments in electronic music production. In an era where software dominates the landscape, the tactile experience of interacting directly with physical knobs, buttons, and faders fosters a deeper connection between the musician and their music.
By prioritizing hardware instruments over software plugins, this workshop aims to instill a more intuitive and fluid approach to music-making. Unlike the abstract interface of software, hardware devices offer a tangible and immediate feedback loop, allowing musicians to sculpt sounds with precision and spontaneity.
Please note: This session is designed as a hands-on workshop with limited capacity to enhance creativity and collaboration. Sign-up forms will be available at the registration desk at Het Groene Paleis (Nes, 42) on the day of the event. Sign-ups open at 10:00 and will be on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots are filled.
You need a valid ADE Pro, Lab or Lab Day Pass to be able to attend the session!
