Workshop
Join composer, producer and sound designer Jon Dix for a free workshop on making music for film, TV, games and apps.
*** This workshop is for Loughborough University students only ***
Jon Dix is composer, producer and sound designer who’s produced music and sound design for TV programmes (Queer Eye, Selling Sunset) movie trailers (Blue is the Warmest Colour, The Pass), adverts (Cadburys, Nike, BBC) and games (Giant Boulder of Death, Robot Unicorn Attack 2). VR Society and LU Arts have teamed up to bring him to Loughborough to share insights into his work and lead you in some exercises tackling core issues in producing music and sound for moving image.
No prior experience in composing or producing music is required. If possible, please bring a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Jon Dix started his music career as a guitarist in noisy early-noughties indie bands before graduating to composing and producing for a broad range of clients.
His most recent work includes audio for Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days, sold as the world’s most expensive NFT (so far!) and revealed at the Dreamverse Festival New York in 2021. He has also been nominated for five Production Music Awards.
During the day, Jon works from his studio in North London surrounded by vintage synths and guitar pedals. By night he is a member of electronic duo Moscow Youth Cult and guitarist in grunge outfit Flourishes.
Free drinks will be provided courtesy of Redbull.
This workshop is a collaboration with LSU's VR Society.
