——————————————————-
On Sunday 23rd July we present for the first time a workshop to demonstrate the music software “Live” from the German specialists in music technology “Ableton”. The workshop begins at 2:30pm at the Lab. Ableton are officially supporting this workshop to help DJs and producers living here in China.
B6 will demonstrate the performance abilities of Live when used as a DJ tool.
Jackson will demonstrate some of the music production capabilities of Live, using a combination of Live’s unique session view, to quickly sketch out musical ideas, and the arrangement view to sequence a track. The tutorial will cover creating MIDI synth and drum tracks, using samples and loops, and adding effects.
After the workshop we will have our 2nd microlab party starting at 4:00pm when we will say farewell to jacksonblack who returns home to The States.
minimal/micro beats provided by the specialists in this genre: DJs jacksonblack, tootekool, B6, Ben Huang and micrometropolis.
Free entry, BBQ on the outdoor terrace, bring your own food and drinks…and dont forget your blankets.
