Electronic Music Producer, curated by Fabio Balestrieri, is a path designed for those who want to explore the link between music and new technologies and understand, from the inside, how a song is born today: from the first beat to the last note. The goal is to accompany you in building your own style, learning how to transform vision, emotion and sound language into a coherent and recognizable production. A comprehensive course for those who want to learn how to produce music not only “well,” but personally, consciously and creatively.

Course content and structure

The course is developed with a very practical and operational approach. It starts with the conscious use of DAW, learning to move with mastery among software, sequencers and digital instruments. The basics of theory and harmony are introduced to give more solidity and freedom to creative decisions. Work will then be done on pre-production and arrangement, addressing each step of the workflow: from the embryonic idea to the completed form of the song.

A major chapter will be devoted to sampling and production techniques in relation to your musical references, with targeted exercises for building sounds and atmospheres. You will go into detail about sound design and audio recording, developing skills in critical listening, sample selection and manipulation, editing and comping of audio and MIDI tracks.

Finally, the fundamentals of mixing will be addressed, with a focus on the integration of new technologies and current trends in contemporary electronic production.
