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)
