Guest lecture on Electronic Dance Music Production
Guest lecture, Georgia Tech, School of Music, 2021
Hold invited guest lecture on production of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) within the class MUSI6103 by Prof. Nat Condit-Schultz at the Georgia Institute of Technology. EDM is a popular field of music, though the spread and popularity is limited in the US. My talk helped to give an understanding of what EDM is, what it sounds like, and what fundamental production methods exist.
