EMF Studios Offers Kyma Intensive Course, Starting Sat. March 12th
EMF Studios, a program of the Electronic Music Foundation, has announced a Kyma Intensive Course, beginning this Saturday, March 12th at their Fashion District facility.
Go deep with Kyma at EMF Studios in March.
According to EMF, Kyma is “the ultimate sound design environment, used in music and post-production studios, research labs, art installations, game developers’ studios, educational institutions, home studios, and live performances. Remarkable in the ease with which you can access powerful algorithms and controls, Kyma turns musical creativity into a process of discovery.”
The objective of the Kyma Intensive Course is to provide the knowledge and skill to do sound design or composition with Kyma. Following this course, users should be able to begin work immediately.
The course is limited to four enrollees to allow for personalized instruction and interaction. The course includes written materials provided to enrollees, supervised excercises with Kyma during the course, and two hours of supervised studio time following the course.
The fee for the course is $400. EMF Subscribers or EMF Studio members receive a 10% discount.
