      Sampling has helped turn the music industry upside down. It has changed how music is created and how it is perceived. it is a misunderstood artform and very few have been able to master its potential. Part of the reson is because sampling has thrown into a realm that is inundated with machines software and a music industry that is focused on money and not art. In this workshop we will help break many misconceptions about sampling and show you how it can be used to create expressive, dynamic and powerful music in any musical context.

Presenting the workshop is Music Production Specialist UNOWN. Unown has been music for the be better part of 3 decades and in doing so has surpassed the 10,000 hours rule for mastery.

He is going to share his techniques, his thought process and a bit of history to help you excel in the art of sampling and music creation.
