VCAM Philadelphia Artist-in-Residence Program
The VCAM Philadelphia Artist-in-Residence Program hosts Philadelphia and area artists for creative exchanges with the Haverford community.
Based in the College’s VCAM Artist Residency Studio, these artists will engage with the campus through curricular collaborations, workshops, exhibitions, trips to Philadelphia cultural sites, and other projects. The VCAM Philadelphia Artist-in-Residence Program is supported by the Malcolm Baldwin 1962 Fund.
Artist Justin Geller will be teaching a four-part Ableton Live workshop in the VCAM Maker Arts Space every Monday this October, open to students, staff, and faculty.
This four-part workshop is an introduction to the music production software Ableton Live. Participants will gain experience recording audio and learning the basics of editing, mixing, and sampling. We’ll also cover musical concepts like time signatures, basic composition strategies, and rhythm. We’ll make SONGS. Participants will also get an introduction to using MIDI keyboards and microphones. As each session builds on the previous one, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions.
