Link with like-minded creatives and music enthusiasts at SOFT CENTRE’s inaugural discourse Program. Kicking off from 10am tomorrow at Greenhouse Studios in Petersham. Join us in the morning for a practical DJ workshop that uses YouTube as a mixing interface (no CDJ experience required). Led by Nipaluna-based sound theorist Jon Smeathers, Lost Futures of Me at the Zoo invites participants to use theoretical frameworks created by Mark Fisher and Wolfgang Ernst to analyse how we engage with YouTube and question the platform’s potential to create new directions in sound collage and technocratic practices. Only 5 spots left. From 3pm, Anuraag Bhatia leads a panel discussion with Rully Shabara (Senyawa), Rami (Abadir), and Rowan Savage (salllvage), exploring the common threads between traditional and hypermodern music, different cultural perspectives on sound and listening; the power of decentralisation; the importance of the human element in music; and how technology can be co-opted to move us deeper into embodied sonic practice.
