Wondering if we can have a place where people might be able to share their local sound / music cultural opportunities. I know there’s another thread about professional paid work , my hope with with this thread is more to find out about the electronic music institutions, organisations, opportunities for professional development, residencies, even short study programs or mentorship’s, workshops, or even just general venues where music things happen and people participate in your town.
Hopefully as the pandemic eases we start to see more movement and opportunity here, but it’s fair to say that a lot has probably changed since 2019 and some information may be old or out of date.
I’m personally interested in potential opportunities in Europe to create music and have a studio residency for some months, interested to see and hear what people know about and what’s hiding out there in the world.
If theres already a thread about this I couldn’t find happy for mods to shift move delete etc
As a for instance of a short term educational opportunity in the USA : SPLICE Institute runs an annual week long educational and performance event in Kalamazoo Michigan.
Unfortunately the deadline to sign up for this year was yesterday. This year is the end of June, and is all about interactive multimedia practices, with workshops on multimedia, including video editing / processing, and live video manipulation. They use the facilities at Western Michigan University, in Kalamazoo.
I think besides what you learn in the workshops would be the chance to meet all the people involved with this, teachers and fellow participants.
Moogfest if it ever returns would be another great short educational opportunity.
Berklee is running a week long “Electronic Music Production and Sound Design Workshop” this summer.
This looks pretty intense and pretty structured. Sign up deadline is still coming up.
I’m looking around for some more open informal opportunities.
I did post a while back about circuit bender Reed Ghazala who was running apprenticeship and other learning opportunities in Cincinnati, which sounded like they could be arranged to various schedules.
