While that may sound a bit overtly academic to the average user, the end result is a free class, both for novices and stalwart enthusiasts, and a chance for the project creators to “battle test a suite of beginner-technologies” to help open up the rather condensed realm of music production to a broader audience. Peter Gabriel himself donated the multi-track stem versions (which separates instruments by category) of his hit tunes for free, according to Hein.Īpart from giving the public an experience that is “ridiculously awesome,” this second take on NYU’s Play With Your Music is part of a larger media project from the MusEDLab, which was created to “design and test music learning experiences with technology.” The project will help its creators design new web browser-based music equipment with a priority on accessibility, and will also help its creators better understand “the learning context in which the technology is used.” According to a blog post about the project by co-creator Ethan Hein, no special software is required and the work can all be done over a web browser. Want to learn how to create a badass audio mix? Put a magnifying glass on Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” That’s the premise behind a new class being taught at NYU called Play With Your Music, which uses a multi-track copy of the famous tune, as well as Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer,” to teach the ins and outs of effects, editing, and audio production.Ī joint venture between NYU’s Music Experience Design Lab (MusEDLab), MIT Media Lab, and Peer 2 Peer University, the free class takes six to ten weeks to complete, and is designed to get people into audio production without the need to buy a mint’s worth of high-tech audio gear.
