SOUND ADVICE: WHY STORY MATTERS
Mon 25 November from 6:00pm at Peibri Place, Wickham
In this hands-on masterclass, you’ll work with seasoned publicist Adam Lindsay (beehive PR) to start crafting your artist story. With experience collaborating with artists like RAAVE TAPES, The Amity Affliction, Anberlin, and The Belair Lip Bombs, Adam will guide you in developing a compelling narrative that you can share consistently across the platforms and touchpoints that matter most. You’ll leave with practical strategies for using this story to promote your next release or show, ensuring you leave a lasting impression.
SOUND ADVICE: LAPTOP TO STUDIO
Wed 27 November from 6:00pm at University of Wollongong
In this practical masterclass with producer and recording/mixing engineer Timothy McArtney, we’ll explore the pros and cons of recording at home versus in a studio, and introduce hybrid recording as a flexible and affordable approach. Learn about the tools you need to confidently record at home and how to strategically involve professional engineers and producers at key stages to create a recording that fits your style, budget, and goals.
