We are currently accepting expressions of interest for new members of our core program, which is a 2 term (10 weeks per term) program covering music theory basics, collaboration skills, music technology, improvisation techniques, songwriting and production. It is 6-8pm on Monday evenings at 107 in Redfern, starting in September. It's a free program, but limited to around 12 members per semester, for optimal learning outcomes. We combine some educational components, alongside self-directed learning and hands on with fun and easy to use equipment.
We encourage female members to apply, and welcome people from all cultures, creed, any disability-just let us know of any access needs-or any level of musical skill. Our only requirements are that you are committed to attending every week, and have an active interest in learning about electronic music making. To apply, please email hacksounds@107.org.au, outlining;
- basic background on yourself (age, suburb etc)
- what interests you about Hack Sounds?
- your background with music making-it doesn't matter if it's limited
- have you created music in collaboration with others before? Please let us know about that process.
- your aspirations around music-do you want to produce music? be in a band? do sound in a venue?
- what you'd like to learn from the program
- whether or not you can commit to the two terms fully-we expect regular attendance
- anything else you think is relevant
Once we have received your email, you will get further information about the process for joining the program. As this program is limited capacity not all applicants will be successful, but we will be hosting several open events before the end of the year-so keep an eye out otherwise.
Submissions will close 31 July.
