WIRED sparks up 2024 in Beverley with our new East Riding club

Our WIRED Music Technology Club is back, and if you are or know someone living in the East Riding of Yorkshire who’d like to join in, it’s time to sign up!

WIRED is a free music technology club for girls and young people of marginalised genders aged 10–18 and run by YSWN and East Riding Music Hub.

The free, fun, hands-on workshops offer the chance for participants to:

• Explore different approaches to making music using Reaper, Logic Pro and Ableton Live – the software that real-life music producers use
  • Experiment with sounds and samples, creating their own unique samples
  • Build their own beats and songs
  • Learn live recording techniques.

The club will be led by professional musicians Claire Holdich and Katrina Dixon, with guest workshops on Sound Art and Field Recordings led by artist Pheobe Law.
