Northbrook hosted West Sussex Music’s Javanese Gamelan at the Broadwater campus for 6 weeks. During this time students were able to learn traditional Javanese music and perform them on the large orchestra of gongs, chimes, drums and metallophones.
The music tech students spent a day recording the Gamelan which they then created multi-sampled instruments in Native Instruments Kontakt.
We have just installed a brand new set of audio interfaces; Focusrite’s RedNet system. It is an upgrade from our old ProTools HD 192 intefaces and brings network audio to Northbrook for the first time. The system allows any control room to connect to any live room via ethernet in a simple control panel app. We will soon be able to have one band playing in a live room and have students in multiple control rooms recording them.
The system features extremely low latency and extremely high track counts, and puts students in control of state-of-the-art recording facilities.
30 Rooms 30 Producers is a musical showcase created by graduating students to highlight their diverse and eclectic talents. This is an excellent opportunity to experience first-hand what it means to study contemporary music production and to hear some of the freshest emerging talent in the UK.
Graduating students will be on hand to guide you through their production techniques and experiences of creating their final projects. Northbrook Music Department Graduates have gone on to work for Sony, had their music synched for Superbowl 2013 and recently saw off stiff competition from Oxford and Durham University when they won funding for an FM Radio Licence for the college.
