TIAT Basement Beat Battle

the vibe

LET THE GAMES BEGIN At this event we will sit in a circle of tables and work on beats in a dimly lit basement while sipping La Croix and giggling at funny samples. No experience required and teaming up with others is fine. HOW IT WORKS 1. Come at 7PM sharp 2. We’ll pass around a flash drive for each person to drop a sound in 3. We’ll pass around the flash drive again to grab all the sounds 4. We'll each create a beat using only the samples provided (I encourage you not to use any other sounds or synthesis) 5. At the end we will listen to the beats on the sounds system WE ALL WIN!!!!! Compilation At the end of the summer we'll each contribute a song to a compilation and release it on bandcamp. Donations Donations are completely optional and help cover the cost of drinks since there are no working drinking fountains at TIAT. I'll pick up some La Croix and maybe coconut water. Donations also help me recoup the cost of the sound system and lights. <3 Hang out after If there is energy after maybe we'll grab Thai food or similar nearby and hang out till midnight ish.
