Music is a universal language and it’s a fantastic outlet for self-expression. In this course, you are going to learn the basics of music production using a DAW, or a program producers use to create music.
Leading the course is Lora Grigorova, a music artist and DJ based in Malmö. With her blend of electronic, urban, and world music, Lora brings her unique perspective through her music project Super Muñeca. Lora is also the producer manager of the music label Wakan Tanka Records and its artist agency Wakan Tanka Prod, working mainly with world music fusions. Additionally, she is the art director of Congona Festival, the first festival dedicated exclusively to cumbia music of Scandinavia.
