WISPER presents CoLab, a brand new open platform for musical creators.
This free session is all about one thing: making, recording and producing music together.
You will meet new people who share your love for music. Think of it as the musical counterpart of Love is Blind: after the first meeting, you dive straight into the studio with the other participants of this course.
We create a new song, with our own lyrics, music and sounds, which we develop in a few hours into a real hit, banger track, or crazy soundscape. Everything is possible and depends entirely on the occasional band or producer collective.
Don't let doubts stop you, because experience is not the most important thing here. We work together. So did you only just learn the first notes on your instrument, or did you sing mostly in the shower until now? Then you're welcome too! Whether you want to be a ‘fly on the wall’ or a busy bee, we will find your musical role in the whole as we go along. The important thing is that you come with an ardent desire to make, play and write music, and to collaborate with new people in all kinds of different influences and styles!
Our music man Reindert (saxophonist, songwriter and producer) is always there to keep things on track, but the creative input comes from the participants themselves.
Please note: this is not a real course, so don't expect a class. Rather, it is an open studio, a platform to get to know other makers and work together, like in our Jam Sessions or Soundlab Sessions.
Check www.opek.be for more information about how to get here. At the first session, you will be welcomed by someone from WISPER who will tell you exactly where in/around the building your course takes place.
Good to know if you take a full-day course here: for the lunch break, you can bring your own lunch, eat in at Café Entrepot or buy something at the Lidl supermarket around the corner.
