Main Musical Directions
We would like you to know that the main musical interests of the people who participate in this workshop are: psytrance/goa and all their subgenres, chill out, ambient and electronic with some extensions to break beat, general techno styles and so on. We respect all production directions and it is possible for people who are more interested in producing a specific kind of music to come and join the workshop. It is not only about a music genre, it is very much about the technical aspects like learning to use electronic gears and computer based tools. We also are interested in new electronic music genres. So if you come with new ideas, you are more than welcome. Maybe something more to say is that we do not really do acoustic recordings. We are more specialized in synthetic music.

Tools
We use our own equipment to setup the workshop studios. Setups and their locations are very flexible and each studio may vary from each other. We use diverse pro-audio hardware/software combinations. To see an example of a studio setup, please visit the past workshops section of the website. Please be aware that we are not Apple users. We work only with PC/Windows stations and the main audio applications are: Steinberg Cubase, Ableton Live, ImageLine FruityLoops, Sonic Foundry SoundForge and Wavosaur. At our 2007 workshop, we had two Apple/Logic based producers who learned very much about how we work with our applications.

Work Flow
We form small teams to work together in a studio. While producing tracks, we show each other producing ways and share tricks and information that comes along while working. The studios can be used 24 hours a day.

Specific Courses
Once a day, for couple of hours, meetings are organized about a specific production topic. It is open for everyone to participate in these meetings. Whoever does not wish to participate can continue working in another studio.
The main subjects we usually discuss are: synthesizer signal flow, audio editing, compressors, mastering, plug-ins creation, and live-set. More specific courses can be organized according to interests and wishes of participants.

Everybody a Teacher, Everybody a Student
Our spirit of teaching and learning is that everyone has his/her part of knowledge that he/she can share with other participants. The main idea of creating this workshop was to share what we know and put it together while working. This is still our main focus.

Not Strict Like in a School
We organize the workshops in very peaceful locations, with nice landscapes, forests and nature surrounding us. It is certainly a workshop to focus on producing music, but it is as well a meeting of friends sharing time together. It has always been a family spirit more than a school atmosphere.
