ARCHA+U: Computer Music ft. Kewu (music production workshop – badfocus, BoLs/sLoB, Kewu)
This time, producers BoLs/sLoB and badfocus have invited a special guest to their first open session – producer Kewu. The entire creative process will be guided by his vision, and you will be there to witness the birth of a new track, step by step, according to his ideas.
Come and experience it for yourself – from the first beat to the finished song.
Your guides will be two talented music producers who, despite their young age, have already achieved international success. Both were nominated for Radio Wave's Czeching export project. BoLs/sLoB was also nominated for Discovery of the Year at the Vinyla Awards, while badfocus won a HEMI Music Award for his work. Producer and DJ Kewu likes to combine club electronica with rap, experimental music, and pop. This time, he will be the "client" at the workshop – a whole new track will be created based on his ideas and concepts.
The program is suitable for complete beginners with no prior knowledge of music production or audio software. You don't need to bring anything with you.
