Global Music Visions C.I.C. Music Workshop Taster Session 29th September 2018

We had the second of our two music workshops at the Charles Dickens Centre, Lake Road, Portsmouth. In the session some participants continued their introduction to music technology and recording, by exploring more of the software, for others this was new. They also had support with playing the acoustic guitars. The group worked together to setup the microphones, to play and to record/engineer a piece of music, which they had composed.

Included is a picture of the group of five discussing ideas for recording their piece of music. One participant is sitting behind a MIDI keyboard, whilst two others are sitting behind a microphone each playing acoustic guitars. Two other people are standing by each microphone, ready to change the position of the microphone if necessary.
