On September 21 and 22 we will have a 🧰🛠🗜🔨🔧 workshop weekend 🪛⚒⚙️⛏⚒️ at Pracht—open for all musician and wanna-be musicians who want to learn how to create songs from samples.

Asaf Eden aka. Ryskinde will give a "Sampler Songwriting" workshop, in wich we will learn how to find or construct musical samples, use them in creative ways and discover methods of creating new songs from old songs, found sounds, manipulated instruments etc.

The Jerusalem-based artit has a career in doing experimetal lo-fi pop and constantly reinventing his musical approach, but sticking to a distinctive sound. Ryskinder is using samples and loops extensively in both live settings and the studio, bringing to mind the music of early Beck, dub, boom bap and other loop and sample-based genres. In the workshop, we will explore sampling as a creative tool and gain insights into various sample-based workflows. Inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s idea that “the medium is the m[e/a]ssage,” we’ll discover how sampling can be a fresh, uncanny, weird, fun and exploratory way to make music, echoing pioneering movements in modern art and popular culture.

This workshop is for anyone curious about adding some new items to their creative toolbox. Whether you’re new to sampling or just want to learn more. You don’t need any fancy gear and prior experiences with sampling are not necessary either. Just bring your curiosity. It’s gonna be a mix of theory and hands-on practice, so a laptop or tablet as well as headphones are recommended; that way you can get your hands dirty right away.
