The students were making beats in a special workshop with musician George Hagegeorge. The session started with a lesson that walked through thee history of automated percussion tracing back to the 13th century. Today, these beat machines have become a standard in music production.

Using an app based on the Roland TR-808, the students then got to work creating their own tracks and sharing them with the class. Some of the music produced may end up in experimental films that the students will be working on in May.

It was terrific to have George back with us and we appreciate him sharing his talent and knowledge with us.
