Music exists in many forms and contexts, it can be perceived as just form (sounds, beats, structure) or as a means to express or to self-express. The process around the questions or expressions of identity can and will be explored in this course in musical ways.
TAKE ACTION different, weird, sweet, loving, lovingly… Take sweet action, sweet sweet action, sweet music, soft action… Queer music, soft action.
What will you be doing?
This course is about building an honest, maybe odd, musical message. It is about linking the process of making music to identity. It is a creative, musical exercise: you will learn to produce music, a musical message. This course is about connecting Queer-ness to music. Approaching this with integrity (because this can sometimes be abused as window dressing). Together, and everybody for themselves, we will develop ways to link the topics we discuss, and identity, to the music, a musical message. In a safe, inspiring space.
You will explore how to create Queer music; to compose, produce and create it. In order to do so, to express something, you will find out how to use the software package Ableton Live.
(P.S. for a dedicated music production Ableton course, enrol in the Electronic Music Production course.)
