SCGC Academy
Synthesis for the Screen with Neil Parfitt (starts September 29th) - Online

Join Neil Parfitt online this fall for a workshop exploring how synthesizers are used in modern film and TV scoring. The focus will be subtractive synthesis—learning to build pulses, drones, tickers, and atmospheric textures from scratch.

These techniques apply across all DAWs and synth gear, hardware or software. Neil will demonstrate primarily using VCV Rack (free to download), making it easy to follow along. Whether you’re brand new to synths or looking to deepen your skills, this workshop will take you from the basics to an intermediate level of sound design (and confident synth dorkery!).

The Midi Orchestra with Amin Bhatia (starts July 30th) – Online

The midi orchestra is an evolving but wieldy beast. One has to be composer, performer and engineer to create something that approaches what a real orchestra can do. Award winning composer Amin Bhatia was one of the first to build a career on midi orchestration and composition.

In this course he will de-mystify the process in all areas of writing performing and mixing for virtual orchestra. The four classes will cover various techniques, a small bit of history of how we got here, and a workshop to orchestrate and mix a two minute piece of your own composition. Note that there will be homework!
