A+U:
Workshop Computer music ft. GbClifford
The workshop will be led by two talented music producers who, despite their young age, have already achieved success on the international stage. Both were nominated for Radio Wave’s “Czeching” export project. BoLs/sLoB was also nominated for “Discovery of the Year” at the Vinyla Awards, while badfocus received an award at the HEMI Music Awards for his work.
In this workshop, we’ll also explore GbClifford’s unique approach to music production and creation—his nostalgic work with sound, samples, vocals, and noise aesthetics. We’ll also touch on themes central to his work: psychological fragility, the need for human connection, sharing trauma, and mental health in the music industry. Here, music becomes a safe space for sharing experiences and connecting with others.
The program is suitable for complete beginners with no prior knowledge of music production or audio software. You don’t need to bring anything.
Program duration: 120 min

GbClifford
A musician exploring the boundaries of intimate expression and mental fragility. In her work, influenced by noise and emo aesthetics, she grapples with unfulfilled desires and the acceptance of her own traumas, using music as a tool for self-discovery and compassion. The project transcends personal boundaries and creates a safe shared space where themes of seeking human connection and coming to terms with one’s present self become a means for collective growth and mutual understanding.
