Ha..ha.. eveyone wants to know what's happening for the gathering. This Sat, we have the privilege of having 2 very talented and knowledgeable experts in the field of song writing and music production. Do come for the gathering especially if you are a bedroom musician who is also a song writer who also does the MIDI and recording all by yourself.


S.O.F.T. and Berkley Institute of Media Arts presents:
‘An insight to the songwriting and recording process for the home musician’

Often, we hear that technology nowadays is so advanced that a song can be recorded and produced in a bedroom. However, how do you go about writing and developing that song in the first place? And when the song is written, how do you efficiently use that technology to demo that song down the fastest, easiest way possible and still have it sound professional enough?

Berkley Institute of Media Arts will be sharing songwriting and music-recording tools and techniques at EarShot this Saturday, 10th September 2005. Come on down to resolve your songwriting and recording woes at this live demo and sharing session with us!

About the speakers:

MR KEITH KWOK

Keith graduated from the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA, with a Bachelor of Music in Music Production & Engineering. He was awarded the prestigious Summa Cum Laude (First-class honors) upon graduation and has also received numerous awards at Berklee, which includes a Contemporary Writing & Production Achievement Award for outstanding writing, and being placed on the Dean’s List all seven semesters of his studies at Berklee College of Music. In Singapore, he was awarded the National Arts Council Bursary from the National Arts Council Singapore.

At Berklee College of Music, he studied under award-winning producers, engineers and arrangers, like Carl Beatty (Billy Ocean, Luther Vandross) and Donny Nolan (Walt Disney). He was highly sought after as a student producer for his creativity and strive for perfection, producing demo albums and jingles for many singer/songwriters in Boston.

Keith was trained at the Singapore Armed Forces Music and Drama Company (MDC) and has a vast track record as a performer. He has performed and collaborated with numerous producers, songwriters and artists, which includes Michael Learns to Rock, Babes Conde, Iskandar Ismail, JJ Lin Jun Jie and Clement Chow.

As a trainer, Keith has 5 years of teaching experience, teaching privately as well as lecturing music enrichment programs in songwriting, music theory and music sequencing software.

MR ROGER LOW

With about 10 years of experience in recording sound and music at home, he has delivered professional-sounding recordings, that ranges from the styles of folk guitar, electronic & dance, rock & metal, ambient & soundtracks, to a mix of those and in-between. Also highly apt with computer technology, Roger has always been some sort of ‘tech support’ for his friends; but more importantly, this proficiency of technology is the ground on which Roger moves with the digital advances in music production.

From pumping out dance tracks to being a guitarist in an artist rock band in music labels, Roger has always strived to do justice to songs through clear communication with fellow musicians and colleagues as well as through creative use of music production techniques. As a Mass Communication graduate from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Roger also considers the importance of factors in the media that can influence the communication of songs from the artist to the audience.

In the past 5 years, Roger has shared his foray into music production with budding students at Berkley Institute of Media Arts. In addition, he is multi-talented as a Producer, Composer, Arranger and Sound Engineer.
