Some sounds to slide you into the week, courtesy of this student from our Electronic Music Summer Camp in July ๐๏ธ
The 3 Dots x Open Music Electronic Music Summer Camp has been a BLAST! Please, join us tomorrow at 5 pm for these students' closing performance: https://fb.me/e/2KteydQk2
Students interested in exploring the world of sound- and beat-making have spent a week in hands-on projects with turntables, drum machines, samplers, synthesizers, home-made electronics, and all sorts of percussion instruments. Solo and small group learning and work throughout the week will culminate in a public performance designed and presented by the students on Friday evening at 3 Dots!
Taught by experienced educators and performers: Corey Elbin, Maeve McCullough, Kevin Sims, and Jason Turnipseed of Open Music ๐ถ
Meet us on Pugh Street July 26 for a Hootenanny Flea Market from 5-8 p.m. ๐
We're counting down the days to the first ever Pugh Street Shutdown! These will take place the last Tuesday on the Terrace of each month.
We love when downtown goers catch our talented visitors at the piano ๐
