Live Looping

SFJAZZ Center

Live looping

Join composer and performer Daniel Berkman in this fun workshop at the SFJAZZ Center as he explores and demonstrates the vast potential of making music on personal electronic devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.) using free or low-cost apps and software and how to get those sounds into professional recordings. This will be a very informative and practical class as handheld devices offer a huge range of possibilities for music creation due to their ergonomics and ease of use. Very fun and intriguing class!
