Sound Factory EXTD – Linz Music School’s Computer Course
The Ars Electronica Center’s SoundLab opens its doors to music students. This course—the first of its kind in Upper Austria—targets sound enthusiasts interested in producing, recording and processing music with digital devices and on the computer. The sessions last 100 minutes and are held every two weeks throughout the semester. Instructor is sound artist Marco Palewicz alias Marco XY.
Courses for Beginners, Advanced Users and Adults
In addition to learning basic terms and concepts, beginners get an introduction to methods of recording music and sounds with Ableton software, processing their material, and producing songs. Advanced users deal with remixing music and sound design, and can experiment with stuff like deejaying at the computer, improvising, and recontextualizing audio signals. Due to great popular demand, a course especially for adults will be offered for the first time in winter semester 2014-15.
