soundscape saturday :: red bull academy

The Red Bull Music Academy is a platform for thosewho shape our musical future, a music workshop that has been traveling the world since 1998.  Setting up our EQ HQ for two fortnight long terms in a different musical metropolis each year, we pull together pioneers of days gone by and musical legends of tomorrow from all aspects of rhythm and sound.

For two weeks, 60 selected participants: producers, vocalists, DJs, instrumentalists, and all around musical mavericks from all around the globe come together to check gear, chat on tunes, play in clubs, get a rare glimpse into local musical hybrids in a different country, swap musical visions in the studio, and discover closely guarded secrets of mixing desk magic straight from those who started revolutions in sound.  They're the people we look up to, and they're looking to you for a fresh perspective in turn.

soundscape saturday :: MUTEK

MUTEK is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the 
dissemination and development of digital creativity in sound, music, 
and audio visual art. Its mandate is to provide a platform for the 
most original and visionary artists currently working in their fields,
with the intent of providing an outlet of initiation and discovery for the 
audiences we seek to develop.

MUTEK’s principal activity is the annual presentation of its namesake 
festival, which has taken place in Montreal since 2000.  Since its first 
edition, the MUTEK festival has distinguished itself as an international 
rendezvous for original and avantgarde programming. In terms of 
content, the festival’s range strives to be diverse, with interests in both 
the experimental and the playful sides of digital creativity.  MUTEK’s 
programming intends to create a sonic space that can support 
innovation in new electronic music and digital art.  This is a world of 
constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK 
refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.
