Music is a universal language and it’s a fantastic outlet for self-expression. In this course, you are going to learn the basics of music production using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) – a program producers use to create music.
Don’t worry if you’re a complete beginner – we’ve got you covered! You’ll learn the basics of navigating a DAW and get hands-on experience creating your own music. No prior musical knowledge required! Think of it as dipping your toes into the vast ocean of music production. Who knows, you might just discover your hidden talent!
Leading the workshop is Lora Grigorova, a music artist and DJ based in Malmö. With her blend of electronic, urban, and world music, Lora brings her unique perspective through her music project Super Muñeca. Lora is also the producer manager of the music label Wakan Tanka Records and its artist agency Wakan Tanka Prod, working mainly with world music fusions.
