Music 2030 : designing the contours of what tomorrow’s musician will be

Des­pite a non favour­able health con­text, the Slash 2 pro­gramme con­tin­ues with the second “Music 2030” work­shop. The object­ive of this intense week is to exper­i­ment with new approaches of cre­ation, diver­si­fic­a­tion of activ­it­ies, tools and prac­tices in order to draw the con­tours of what tomor­row’s musi­cian will be.
How to cre­ate for tour­ism? How to seize the NFT’s concept and cre­ate a per­son­al­ized strategy around this new use? How to diver­si­fy one’s sources of income and means of com­mu­nic­a­tion through the cre­ation of remixes and beat­mak­ing activ­it­ies? How to use arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence to cre­ate and be inspired? How to integ­rate sus­tain­able devel­op­ment into your career and tour­ing strategy?

These are the ques­tions we will have to answer dur­ing the week. To do this, hybrid edu­ca­tion­al meth­ods will be used, mix­ing meet­ings, indi­vidu­al appoint­ments, con­fer­ences, prac­tices and stu­dio cre­ations. Artists will have the chance to meet experts and inspir­ing artists such as Flore, Thomas Coch­ini, Shkyd, Adrien Ohan­nes­si­an, Gwen­dol­enn Sharp, Céline Gar­cia and Skygge.

The Slash artists — André Julio Tur­quesa, Dena, Flo/so, Gisèle Pape, Isa­belle Nguy­en, Marta del Grandi, Nik­las Runge and Nils Peschanski — will arrive from Porto, Ber­lin, Mil­an, Aar­hus and oth­er cit­ies in France on Thursday 13 Janu­ary for a week of train­ing, com­pos­i­tion exer­cises and oth­er dis­cov­er­ies!
