GREAT OPP! Shouts to A3C Alum Senor Kaos for the info!

Tek  
 aka  
 Lucky Luciano

Event Dates: September 30 - November 2, 2012

Applications: February 2 - April 2, 2012

Application form and info at www.redbullmusicacademy.com

Having traversed the globe with previous stops including Berlin,  
 Toronto, London, Madrid, Melbourne, and Cape Town among others, the Red  
 Bull Music Academy is excited to be landing in New York for 2012. Music  
 makers of all styles, methodologies and levels of experience are invited  
 to apply until April 2, 2012, for what will be a once in a lifetime  
 opportunity.

One of the most iconic cities on the planet, NYC has been immortalized  
 in the pantheon of music - incubating genres like hip hop, disco, house,  
 bop, no-wave, and post-punk among others. NYC is inspiration central: a  
 place where people from all nations collide, bringing music, culture,  
 and attitude with them. Music is everywhere, from cars cruising the  
 block banging hip hop mix shows to the indie rock stars of tomorrow  
 mashing drums in East Village practice spaces. Boomboxes blasting Willie  
 Colón soundtrack outdoor domino games, and hipster troubadours play  
 fiddles in the subway while kids shout the words to the latest A$AP  
 Rocky single down the train aisles. After all, nothing’s equivalent to  
 the New York state of mind.

The Red Bull Music Academy is excited to become part of this sonic  
 kaleidoscope this fall. From September 30 through November 2, 2012, the  
 world-travelling music lab and festival will set up shop in the city for  
 five weeks' worth of workshops, concerts, club nights, and all-round  
 musical extravaganzas held all across the boroughs.

Producers, vocalists, instrumentalists and DJs across all genres who  
 will be at least 21 years of age by September 30, 2012 are eligible to  
 take part and can download an application form from  
 www.redbullmusicacademy.com and send it off with a selection of  
 their tunes before April 2, 2012.

To find out more, musicians can attend one of the Red Bull Music  
 Academy’s three-day ‘Bass Camp’ sessions in Moscow, Warsaw, Rome,  
 Madrid, Beirut and Antwerp, amongst other cities. Participants will  
 receive a full-fledged mini-Academy experience including studio  
 facilities for collaboration, inspiring international lecturers, and a  
 host of club nights. In addition, interested applicants can also attend  
 one of the many introductory one-day sessions being held throughout  
 February and March in over 50 countries worldwide. More information on  
 the whereabouts of these events can be found on  
 www.redbullmusicacademy.com/events.

The Red Bull Music Academy’s yearly compilation entitled ‘Various  
 Assets’ is set to be released at the end of February. Containing 35  
 tracks (all recorded at the 2011 Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid), this  
 “audio yearbook” is just a sampling of the once-in-a-lifetime  
 moments that came out of the Jurassic Park-like Academy compound at  
 Matadero Madrid: from arpeggiated acid to experimental exotica. The  
 compilation will have a physical release and will be distributed to  
 music shops, clubs and cultural institutions the world over. In  
 addition, a different song each day will be available for download on  
 www.redbullmusicacademy.com/va from February 2 on.

A series of mixes and podcasts on RBMA Radio as well as the Academy’s  
 Mixcloud channel will also highlight the diversity of music makers  
 participating in the Red Bull Music Academy. Lectures from previous  
 editions can be viewed via Vimeo or downloaded as audio podcasts from  
 Soundcloud. Find all links below.

ABOUT THE RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY:

The Red Bull Music Academy is an international workshop that was  
 founded in 1998, and touches down in a different city each year. Over  
 two fortnight-long 'Terms', some of the finest purveyors of rhythm and  
 sound from all over the world gather between the Academy's walls. Two  
 groups of 30 successful applicants, themselves representing a diverse  
 range of music styles and methodologies, attend lectures by musical  
 pioneers, and work on their own tunes in custom-built studios. By night,  
 they have the chance to perform in some of the host city's most iconic  
 clubs and concert halls.

“The Red Bull Music Academy is the most progressive entity of music  
 education. I wanna be chosen for this!” (Ahmir ‘?uestlove’  
 Thompson, The Roots)
