Projet
I will be working with Julian to get more insights into modern pop music production. In my current musical practice, I am happy to have acquired a lot of skills related to experimental sound design, which can be applied in various musical styles. Now I am interested in learning the basic building blocks of high-end pop music production and am happy to have found Julian as my coach, who has a wealth of experience working with international artists and in a wide variety of contexts. Over the course of ten sessions, Ti and Julian will be working on real world projects to build skills and experience in the studio. This will include the whole process from songwriting to producing, tracking, mixing and mastering.
