30 under30: Live Beat-Making and Q&A with Jackson Whalan
to
Six Depot Roastery & Cafe 6 Depot Street, Town of West Stockbridge, Massachusetts 01266
As a part of the 30 under30 Exhibition, Jackson Whalan Music will host an intimate evening, showing how he makes songs from scratch, followed by a discussion that will intend to help aspiring musicians further their careers. All Ages | Free Entry
Artist Statement for the event:
I will make a beat (produce a song) from scratch for the audience, joined by one or more musicians who will record their instruments, with my computer screen projected onto the wall so that attendees can see what I’m doing. Once I have the beat to a point where it has formed into a cohesive arrangement, I will then freestyle (improvise lyrics) for 3-5 minutes. My live production session will be followed by a Q&A for musicians, and anyone who wants to have insight into my career. I am looking at this as a time for the audience to “meet the artist”, while musicians can also gain insights for their own careers.
