WINNER PROJECT | FULLDOME VIDEO ART CREATION GRANT
IDARTES | District Institute of the Arts

Materia Ondulatoria is a 17 minute fulldome audiovisual experience conceptually based on the wave-particle duality, a phenomenon that allows matter to behave either as waves or as particles. It explores different hidden layers of reality, that elude our sensory and perceptual system.Embark on an abstract journey through the electromagnetic spectrum and wave phenomena, then pass by corpuscles and subatomic particles, until finally reaching quantum levels where matter can take either form.A crucial part of this project was to create a piece whose media allows for a dialogue between the digital and the analog. By
using code in three-dimensional applications to virtually mimic phenomena and employing electrical signals in oscilloscopes, the project combines these two universes. Some of the tools used to create the visuals were Cinema4D, Touchdesigner, VSynth (Max/MSP) and laser lissajous patterns recordings.

Gregorio
Drum Teacher, How to be a good band member, Musicianship and listening skills.
Drumming is a powerful experience for all ages and music levels even if you play a melodic instrument. I have designed a learning programme suitable for a wide variety of music needs and aims. I have a long experience teaching, performing, recording and producing music that have let me explore melodic instruments like keyboards, guitar, and bass. It has given to me a broad musical approach to the drums with a ensemble situation perspective. This class is for drummers who want to be part of a music project or want to improve their ensemble music skils. All the levels. Children from 7 to 80 welcome.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Music Production Masterclass: How To Be An Electronic Music Producer
Bedroom producers form the bedrock that most of the electronic genres comprising today's musical landscape are built off of. With a desktop PC, laptop, tablet or phone and an internet connection, you have near-instant access to all the tools necessary to create sounds literally never heard before in human history. Never has it been easier for an aspiring artist to begin, master and hone their craft, be it a hobbyist looking for a cathartic outlet or a chart-topping, platinum-record-stacking industry giant. The issue is; making music's tough. And Digital Audio Workstations are scary. And writer's block is terrible. And music theory makes my teeth itch. With both a masters and bachelors degree in music technology, years of professional musical experience spanning a wide array of genres and applications and eyebrows that'll knock your socks off, I can walk you through everything you need to become an electronic music producer. I can show you advanced tips and tricks to make the most out of your DAW of choice, I can help you with grasping the musical theory necessary to take the stress out of composition, I can teach you how to eradicate the dread of writer's block, discover your own musical voice, and help you become one of the great composers of our modern era. The Beethoven's, the Mozart's, the Tchaikovsky's. Just a little more sleep-deprived, I imagine. Or I can just help you throw a beat together, whatever suits you. (As a seasoned mental health battler; I am available midday to midnight GMT for you night owls, and will happily cater to those uncomfortable with face-to-face online sessions. Neither a webcam nor a microphone is necessary, we can pretend it's a Twitch chat if you need. Don't stress yourself out of wanting to learn. Just be prepared for me to monologue about resampling until you interrupt me with an emote.)

INDIAN CLASSICAL or Singing for beginner VOCAL. or ESRAJ
I have over 20 years of experience in vocal performance and am currently a dedicated learner of Indian classical vocal music and Esraj. I have also had the opportunity to perform in India, gaining valuable experience and deepening my connection to the art. Singing is my passion, and I am committed to supporting those who share the same dedication and love for music. Born and raised in Japan, I was introduced to music at an early age and have spent years exploring various vocal techniques and musical traditions. While my foundation is in contemporary and traditional styles, my journey led me to Indian classical music, where I continue to refine my skills under esteemed mentors. This pursuit has allowed me to immerse myself in a rich and intricate musical tradition, enhancing both my vocal technique and artistic expression. Alongside performance, I am passionate about teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. Whether you want to deepen your understanding of vocal music, explore Indian classical techniques, or sing in Japanese, I am here to support your journey. If you have a song you’d like to sing in Japanese, I can help you with pronunciation, phrasing, and emotional expression. We can also work on vocal training together to develop your range, breath control, and confidence. In addition to teaching, I continue to perform and collaborate with artists across different genres, bridging musical traditions and fostering cross-cultural connections. My goal is to create a space where music becomes a powerful tool for self-expression, creativity, and personal growth. Let’s explore your potential together and bring your musical aspirations to life!

Regular piano lessons too difficult? Then try piano lessons with me!
In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard. Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano. At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable? We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now. During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

Saxophone lessons for all levels! (Online or at your place)
With beginner saxophone students, we will first work on proper instrument holding and posture. Then, before blowing into the saxophone, we will practice long-tone exercises using the mouthpiece. Once comfortable with these fundamentals, we will start producing sound from the instrument and learning the notes. We will focus on long-tone exercises to develop control and consistency. We gradually start incorporating short exercises or simple melodies as the student progresses. Learning and progressing on an instrument mostly depends on the student's dedication and practice habits. If you love music and commit time to it, you can reach a good level in a short period!
