Young artists get the chance to gain an edge in the music industry with White Noise.
Budding musicians and bands in Brisbane will soon get an opportunity to develop the skills vital for making it big in the industry.
Local digital distribution company Musicadium, in conjunction with the Edge, are presenting White Noise- the first of its kind and set to hit Brisbane on the 15th-20th of March this year.
White Noise consists of a series of free workshops for up and coming artists to be held at the Edge, a brand new state-of-the-art creative facility in South Bank.
The week-long event, now looking for applicants, will include workshops and seminars on songwriting, recording, distribution, management, marketing and promotions.
Local and national music industry professionals will host each seminar or workshop, passing on invaluable insight and information to the young artists.
The sessions will culminate in a showcase held in the Edge auditorium, which will provide an opportunity for the public to see the progress made by the artists over the course of the program.
Musicadium Promotions and Development Manager Tim Price said the program could lead artists to the big break they’re looking for.
“The music industry is at a real tipping point at the moment. With the information they are given, these artists will get the chance to be at the forefront of the industry as we head into a new decade.”
The Edge, a new initiative by the State Library of Queensland, is a brand new creative space nestled amongst the cultural precinct in Brisbane’s South Bank. Equipped with the latest technology, The Edge is one of the first dedicated creative spaces in Australia.
White Noise will be making full use of the space during the event, which boasts recording studios, rehearsal rooms, Apple Mac labs and a large auditorium.
