* * * AUGUST 13: FIND YOUR ELECTRIBE * * *
* WORKSHOP: HEIDY P. (Montreal), The Korg Electribe > 7-9:30PM, Gym https://www.facebook.com/heidyp
* IN THE WEEDS: DJ LUNA NIXXX (PGH) > 9PM-12AM, Lobby

WORKSHOP: This workshop is inspired by electronic beats that are equal parts freeform & grit (from Lisbon’s Desterronics to Pittsburgh’s Shawn Rudiman) thanks to a machine that can take you all over the map. With over 400 sounds on tap, the Korg Electribe is much more than a typical drum machine! You can construct 16-part arrangements, synchronize with other Korg instruments, and even export your productions as an Ableton Live set. Heidy P. is a DJ, musician, and educator who has lived and worked across Europe and North America. Initially focused on rock, over the years she has gone deep into house, disco and techno. She hosts a monthly show on Radio Quantica, and produces guest mixes for online stations like Rinse France and The Lot Radio. Montreal is her hometown where she has hosted many late night events in unusual settings, like an old printing factory and a dominatrix loft. https://www.mixcloud.com/quanticaonline/rhythm-phazer-5-with-guest-softcoresoft

WEEDS: DJ Luna Nixxx hails from a small town south of Pittsburgh and has made an escape to the city. Graduating with an associates in sound engineering and a vast skillful background of many instruments, Luna Nixxx, also known as “Vanessa Lacey Shock”, brings you a taste of her musical ear and love of the many genres of electronic music.

The WORKSHOP: we've invited local & visiting artist-educators to take inspiration from electronic music pioneers past & present in choosing a piece of gear from the library’s collection to share with you. They will show you the basics, along with some pro-tips & tricks to achieving that sound that may have been stuck in your playlist or between your ears. :))

The PLAYGROUND: CLP offers a special selection from their ever-growing instrument collection that you can play with at your own pace. Explore or perfect your skills in a chill atmosphere, and remember, you can always check out this equipment from the library to take home for more fun!

CLP: The Music Department at the CLP – Main Library has a growing collection of musical instruments and gear available for FREE check out and in-house exploration. The collection includes analog and digital synthesizers, drum machines, guitar pedals, microphones, ukuleles, a Moog Theremin and more.
