Jonson himself, Hrdvsion, Danuel Tate, and Beatriz Artola will be mentors for the program.
Mathew Jonson is set to launch the Freedom Engine Academy, his own music production and live performance academy this June. According to organizers, the academy is ‘not a school for beginners’, as the courses run deep into complex subjects like sound design, synthesis, mixing, remixing, and workflow.
‘My team and I have launched the Freedom Engine Academy to allow experienced DJs to grow their production skills and then guide them into live performance. I also wanted to take my skills to the next level, so essentially hired the professional mentors I felt would provide the highest education in each of their respective fields—Beatriz Artola and Erik Breuer (recording and mix engineers), Danuel Tate, and Sarkis Ricci (contemporary keyboard/piano and music theory), and Nathan Jonson (Ableton Live 11 Suite—which is included in the enrolment fees). We also partnered with Roland Cloud so I could demonstrate on the classic outboard gear and then participants could apply that easily on the VSTs.’, says Johnson.
The Freedom Engine Academy will start taking applications starting May, and scholarships will be available as well. The first twelve-week course is set to begin this June and end with a graduation ceremony.
