066 SAE & SAE Alumni NEWS // European News Masterclass with Gregor Zemljič n During our February Open Day, one mas- terclass that caused a lot of buzz, was the Elec- tronic Production Techniques seminar held by Gregor Zemljič, a professional in the field. The interest was so high that, after scheduling a second one, we unfortunately had to impose a ‘cut-off’ limiting future applicants who wanted to attend the workshop. An idea that jumped to mind just before the start of the masterclass, was to stream it in real time. After the camera was set up and an announcement on our Fa- cebook page, a strong number of online par- ticipants were present.

Delavnico je vodil vsem dobro znani producent in mastering inženir Gregor Zemljič. Zanimanje je bilo ogromno, saj smo morali or- ganizirati kar dve zaporedni delavnici. Na žalost pa smo bili primorani odsloviti tudi veliko število ljudi, ki niso prišli na vrsto. Ker smo delavnico nameravali tudi v celoti posneti, smo se tik pred začetkom spomnili, da bi lahko omogočili tudi spletni prenos v živo. Na hitro smo novico objavili na Facebook profilu in tako razveselili tudi tiste, ki niso bili prisotni na de- lavnici. Posnetek delavnice si lahko ogledate na naslovu -> http://goo.gl/QGrLZ Ljublijana The Producer’s Life with Chris Eckman n At the end of May we had the privilege of hosting the lead singer/songwriter of The Walkabouts, Chris Eck- man. He has worked with numerous bands around the world and has released several albums as a producer. Visitors to his workshop entitled “Producers Life: No Rules, No Compromises” were lucky enough to hear about the more philosophical approach to producing an album and learn a lot about revolutionary producers such as Brian Eno, King Tubby and more. Chris Eckman also shared his unforgettable experience of producing an album for a band called Tamikrest, which he recorded in the northeast African republic of Mali. The workshop was informative, laid-back and full of in- teresting ideas and philosophies, which young upcoming producers and engineers can embrace, borrow and maybe even influence future generations of so-called “knob-players”! n Življenje producenta v očeh Chrisa Eckmana Konec maja smo gostili pevca/kantavtorja skupine The Walkabouts, Chris Eckmana. Sodeloval je že z različnimi izvajalci in skupinami iz celega sveta in izdal kar nekaj albumov v vlogi glasbenega producenta. Obiskovalci njegove delavnice „Producers Life: No Rules, No Com- promises“ (Producentovo življenje: Brez pravil, brez kompromisov) so lahko prisluhnili bolj filozofskemu pris- topu produciranja albumov in se veliko naučili o „revolu- cionarnih“ producentih kot so Brian Eno, King Tubby in podobni. Prav tako je Chris Eckman pripovedoval o svo- ji izkušnji produciranja albuma za skupino Tamikrest, ki jo je posnel v severno-vzhodnem delu afriške republike Mali.Delavnica je bila poučna, prijetna ter polna idej in filozofij, katere so lahko mladi prihajajoči producenti in avdio inženirji prevzeli, si sposodili ali pa celo z njimi vplivali na prihajajoče „mešalce zvokov“! SAE Institute @AMC 2011 n At the beginning of June, the first Adria Music Conference was held in the city of Um- ag, Croatia, the biggest music industry-related conference in our region. Thanks to our part- nership with AMC, we were responsible for coordinating Saturday’s workshops. In the most popular workshop participants had the opportunity to learn from UK house duo, The Shapeshifters. Max and Simon, in a very re- laxed and friendly approach, explained their career, artistic views, tools and techniques they are using, by analyzing their hit single “She Freaks”. At the end, lucky participants received the opportunity to enter in a “She Freaks” remix contest with interesting prizes including publishing of the song and an SAE Online course. Apart from our workshops, there were numerous panels and discussions about the music industry, future of publishing and many more. The best part arrived at the end… parties and a lot of young people entertained by names such as Tiesto, Rev. Run of Run DMC and many more. n SAE Institute na AMC-ju 2011 V začetku junija se je v Umagu zgodila prva velika glasbena konferenca pri nas, katera nosi naslov Adria Music Conference. V sodelovanju z AMC-jem smo bili zadolženi za pripravo in izvedbo sobotnih delavnic. Udeleženci delavnic so imeli možnost pris- luhniti nasvetom trenutno najbolj vročemu house duetu - The Shapeshifters.

Ob koncu delavnice so udeleženci prejeli tudi možnost za sodelo- vanje v remix natečaju “She Freaks”. Zmagovalec natečaja bo lahko izdal svojo skladbo pri znani založbi in prav tako prejel za nagrado SAE Online tečaj. Vzporedno z delavnicami pa so potekale tudi raznorazne debate okoli glasbenih založb, glasbeni industriji in o dogod- kih v glasbenem svetu. Po končanih delavnicah pa so na glavnem prizorišču množico razgrela imena kot so Tiesto, Rev.Run of RunDMC in še mnogi drugi.
