Join me for a special livestream with TimeCop1983, one of the artists who has played a huge role in shaping the modern synthwave sound. This time, we're going deep behind the music. We'll talk about his creative and music production process, from the initial idea all the way through arrangement, sound design, recording, mixing, and finishing a track. We'll explore things like: 🎹 How he develops a track from an initial musical idea 🎛️ His approach to synths, sounds, and production 🥁 How he builds grooves, drums, basslines, and melodies 🎼 How he approaches arrangement and keeps a track moving 🎚️ His mixing and production workflow 💡 Where his ideas come from and how he develops them 🚧 How he deals with creative roadblocks and unfinished ideas 🔥 And the production decisions that help give TimeCop1983's music its distinctive sound This is a chance to go beyond the finished tracks and look at how the music actually gets made.
