The workshop organised by the Alliance Française Lagos, Institut Français du Nigeria and Goethe-Institut Nigeria, aims to expand the artistic range of Nigeria’s already booming music scene.
Facilitated by the trio, the workshop will take place daily from June 8 to 12, 2015 in Lagos, and will culminate in two concerts – the first in Lagos on June 13, and the second in Abuja a week later to commemorate World Music Day.
The statement said: “Electronic soundscapes is inspired by the 10 cities project, which presented an intersection of club and electronic music between different European and African cities.”
It added that: “The workshop is set up within this context and aim to foster artistic interaction among German, French and Nigerian musicians in the area of non-mainstream, independent electronic music.
“It is a mutually-beneficial exchange for participants and the facilitators and will hopefully improve the skills that participants bring to the session as well as offer a rare opportunity to work with world-class producers from varying backgrounds.”
With applications for the training closing on April 30, practicing Nigerian musicians, DJs and music producers, who are above 18 years of age, with tangible experience in electronic music are encouraged to apply.
