Music News - Red Bull Music Academy Applications
18 February 2011 - 0 Comments
The Red Bull Music Academy has circumnavigated the globe, with previous editions putting down roots in cities like Barcelona, Cape Town, Toronto, Sao Paulo, London and Melbourne. There have long been calls to hold an Academy in Tokyo - and this year, that's exactly where the Academy's headed, with the full clip of events, workshops and studio sessions coming to town from 23 October to 25 November 2011.
The Red Bull Music Academy is an international workshop, touching down in a different city each year. Over two fortnight-long 'terms', some of the finest purveyors of rhythm and sound from all over the world gather between the Academy's walls. There's always that sense of synchronicity when music lovers find music lovers. But it's even better when they get to meet up in person.
Each year, an unlimited number of applicants from New Zealand, whether they are a producer, instrumentalist, vocalist, or DJ, are chosen to be a part of the Academy in Tokyo. Red Bull invites all budding Red Bull Music Academy attendees to download an application form from http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com to be sent to Academy HQ together with a music demo by 4 April 2011.
A jury made up of label heads, music journalists and Academy team members will then carefully deliberate over each application. Two groups of 30 from around the world will be selected to represent a broad spectrum of music styles and levels of experience: from singer-songwriters to DIY synth designers and orchestral composers or digital beatmakers.
In Tokyo, the selected participants will have the opportunity to hear lectures from pioneering mavericks who paved the way, along with trailblazing sound rebels of the present; followed by late night recording sessions putting that breadth of knowledge and inspiration into practice in custom-made studios. Then there's the chance to perform in some of the host city's most iconic clubs and concert halls. If you ever chat with any past alumni - like Warp's beat cruncher Hudson Mohawke, Brainfeeder, Flying Lotus or Eru Dangerspiel - they often describe the experience as a game changer.
If this has in any way caused your eyes to widen with interest, you had best get on to it and head over to http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com for your application form!
