As rehearsal studios (and space in general), become increasingly limited, the ability for local musicians to produce music from their laptop is becoming essential. Fortunately, WIRED, a musician-run electronic music production “music lab” is helping local musicians learn new skills in an easy-going, judgement free atmosphere.
“We see Wired Music Labs as a gateway for people to enter the world of learning how to produce, create and perform electronic music,” says WIRED instructor Ethan Lawrie. “We want to continue to make it easier and more accessible for everyone.”
Located in Olympic village, WIRED offers a variety of electronic music workshops for a range of skill levels. So whether it’s mastering Ableton, creating live DJ sets, or learning how to produce top-40 megahits, WIRED offers its students all the equipment, software and knowledge needed to get started.
“We are serious about our tag line: 'No experience required.' We supply the gear, hands-on learning,” says Lawrie. “We also try to make it fun. We use a workshop format and try to schedule them so that it’s easy for people to attend and gain knowledge and experience in bite-sized pieces.”
In addition to workshops, WIRED also hosts drop-in sessions, offering musicians more flexibility when it comes to accessing the necessary gear and software.
The world of electronic music production can be super intimidating. It’s expensive, it’s technical and it’s extremely complex. WIRED offers creatives a low-commitment way to dip their toes in the world of digital music production, without having to invest thousands of dollars (and hours) at the onset of their careers.
