bryface workshops at freqfest5(LA)

OK, you’ve heard us talking about his work more than once, but… he’s an active individual, so there is much to report. Computer music native bryface is not only taking on the 2016 #weeklybeats songwriting challenge again (new works already out (week 1: experimenting with the Korg Gadget app on iPad), plus more upcoming at the rate of … one per week!), but he’s participating in 8bitLA’s Freq Fest 5 this upcoming weekend (Jan 15-17), so any of our fans in or around Los Angeles (Bueller? Bueller?) can have a chance to not only take in his seemingly effortless chiptune stylings, but also to participate in two chiptune workshops he’s leading on related subjects:

Saturday, January 16th - LSDJ Workshop 1: Chipmusic Sound Design Essentials (45 min)
Having trouble wrapping your head around creating sounds? We’ll explore some methodologies for crafting various types of individual sounds, as well as more holistic approaches with respect to a song’s overall sound design.

Sunday, January 17th - LSDJ Workshop 2: Tracking Between The Rows (45 min)
Ever wonder how to write music that’s more than the sum of its parts? In this advanced workshop, we’ll take a deeper look into composition overall – drawing wisdom from demoscene legends and other notable composers, plus leveraging the psychoacoustic quirks of the human ear – to make the most out of the precious limited number of channels you have at your disposal.

We’ve got no lack of ancient history (and even some further current events!) to cover, so stay tuned for further interviews, promotions, behind-the-scenes peeks, archaeological digs and blooper outtakes. Excelsior!
