Just got emailed this: ______________________________ Our core technical team has changed: starring as 'diamond, diamond techie geezers' we now have Patrick Pulsinger of Cheap Records in Vienna, cult house composer Osunlade, and underground electronic producer Ectomorph of Detroit. On top of that, a diverse mix of musicians, producers and engineers will visit our lecture room and studio over the coming week. We hope the wisdom and ideas shared will be of some use to you on your own musical journey, in the wider music context. That's why we're writing to let you know about some of the latest streamed lecture edits and other new features on the Academy website, version 7.5. Lecture broadcasts New half-hour edits of workshop sessions in the first week include (check the mediafiles in the daily diaries): - Tony Colman, force behind the soulful drum&bass of Hospital Records and London Elektricity. - Prince Paul, producer behind such seminal projects as the Gravediggaz and De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising'. Steinski calls him the closest thing to a genius in hip hop. - Amp Fiddler, a singer and pianist who has gone from playing with Parliament and Funkadelic to session work with Carl Craig, Maxwell and Kenny Dixon Jnr, and is now making his own stamp on underground house music. - Sal Principato, the voice of seminal New York punk-funk act Liquid Liquid. For the rest of the week guests will include Sebastian Niessen, the man who created most of Kraftwerk's equipment, Ed Handley of experimental electronic group Plaid, and Rick Essig (N.Y.C mastering legend). These lectures will be summarised in the daily diaries and edited to stream within 48 hours. ____________________________________________ Congratulations to Ectomorph and Amp Fiddler! and wow! - Sal Principato, Sebastian Niessen, Ed Handley, Patrick Pulsinger, Osunlade... wish I had teachers like that when I was in school MEK
