Building a Music Studio at Home — Getting Started with Music Production

In this free workshop salon, which kicks off a year-long introductory series at Interintellect, musician and sound engineer Zsolt Török invites you into the cozy and creative world of bedroom studios, and helps you take the first steps towards writing and recording your own music at home.

Listening to Billie Eilish’s Grammy-winning album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, it’s hard to believe that it was recorded and produced entirely in her brother Finneas’s bedroom. The record’s critical and commercial success is a testament to how much you can achieve using nothing but a computer, a few relatively inexpensive add-ons, and your own creativity. Having easy access to these creative tools has enabled a whole generation of young music producers to start honing their craft in a corner of their bedroom.

In this introductory workshop, we will explore some free tools and resources to get a taste for the creative potential of digital music production. The goal is not to dive deep into any specific aspect of the production process, but to get a high-level overview of the steps and the tools involved. These will be covered in much more depth during the upcoming series of workshops: Unlock the Music in You — Music Production Workshop Series.
