Sounds From My Room

Get into the groove as we hear about how to transform the sound that’s been playing around in your head into music that gets people bustin’ a move. Join us as music industry experts show you how to unlock the secrets of making that hit.

From 1970s sound systems and producers that pioneered the concept of the remix and dubplates, to the computer-driven genres of grime and dubstep, there lies a uniquely British story. Mykaell Riley, music producer and Senior Lecturer at Westminster University, will take you through a history spanning over 50 years of assimilating black music and culture, which has found its way into the DNA of British pop culture and society.

Mixing is without a doubt the most crucial and sensitive stage of making a record. Watch Federico Bersano Begey from the London School of Sound as he demonstrates live how to put together a song track using only a basic laptop and some of your creativity. Learn how to make your singing voice sound professional without expensive equipment and discover the tricks to help you mix and remaster like a pro.

Facilitated by music journalist and broadcaster Jacqueline Springer, this event is guaranteed to provide inspiration and ideas for beginner and expert alike.
