Renowned music producer, performer and educator Mad Zach will team up with the SAE Creative Media Institute to deliver free electronic music masterclasses across the country during February, including at Byron SAE.
As an artist, Mad Zach has had over 20 million YouTube views, more than 10 million plays on Spotify, and has worked with the likes of Aphex Twin, Tipper, Bassnectar, G Jones, Eprom, Claude Von Stroke and Deadmau5.
During the two-hour masterclasses participants will gain insight into how Zach has turned his passion into a globally successful
career.
He will be sharing his trade secrets, guiding participants through the process of building an original sound pack in Ableton Live, drawing influences from hip hop, glitch, drum and bass, dub and trap, and using the pack to write a fleshed out track.
Participants will be encouraged to engage in the creative process with Zach, as well as ask questions along the way.
He will be combining the masterclass events with a national tour his third visit to Australia.
