Red Bull Music Academy has announced the application phase for it’s 2011 edition, which will be hosted by the techno paradise that is Tokyo.
From February 2, 2011 the Academy is inviting all forward-thinking, talented producers, vocalists, DJs, and instrumentalists to apply to be one of the 60 participants who will be chosen to attend.
The application form is available to download from www.redbullmusicacademy.com between these dates. The successful applicants will be given the fantastic opportunity to be flown out to Tokyo to take part in one of two fortnight-long terms between October 23 and November 25, 2011.
The Red Bull Music Academy began in 1998, uniting up-and-coming musicians with their critically acclaimed counterparts for workshops and gigs.
Each year, the Academy visits a new city for two fortnight-long terms and invites a new group of the world’s premier producers, DJ’s, musicians and engineers to tell their tales on the Academy couch. Previous host cities include Berlin, New York, Sao Paulo, Cape Town, Toronto, Melbourne, Seattle, Barcelona and, last year, London.
As past alumni will testify – such as Warp's beat cruncher Hudson Mohawke, Brainfeeder head Flying Lotus, or idiosyncratic Turkish singer Ahu – attending the Academy is nothing short of a game changer. Lecturers such as Chuck D, Mark Ronson, Benga and Steve Reich have graced the RBMA couch, while the likes of Radio 1’s Benji B, DJ Zinc and J Wow of Buraka Som Sistema have all been mentors at previous Academy stops.
Music makers who are keen to apply for the Academy in Tokyo can find all the info they need on www.redbullmusicacademy.com. In the meantime, as the application process is open, those curious can attend one of the introductory Red Bull Music Academy Info Sessions to be held at Red Bull Studios, London in March, with some key musical luminaries on the sessions couch.
Dates, lecturers and gigs for London will be announced soon.
