  • The Art of The Mixtape


    The Art of The Mixtape
    Thursday, July 21. 7pm-10pm.
    Langton Labs North: 9 Langton St, SF CA.

    There’s no doubting it: a good mixtape can lead to baby making.  A mix with a good arc of pace and narrative can have profound effects on people. They signify much more than music recommendations but also the amount of time focused on the recipient. Through the evolution of media formats and software recommendations services, this art has become watered down but it does still exist.

    In this class, Matt Ganucheau will show you how to use Ableton Live to lead you through all aspects to create a quality modern mixtape, from inspiration, narrative, technical execution and even presentation.  No prior Ableton skills are required.

    $10 suggested donation.
