Spend 2 whole days working on a track with ZOiD in a studio in Bristol this December!

Transform One Track Over The Course Of A Weekend

At Factory Studios with ZOiD, take a track further than you've ever taken one before, with the right time, space and environment to really develop your ideas further, and hone your sound signature to another level!

A mini Red Bull Music Academy experience in Bristol...

Ever since I went to RBMA in 2006 in Melbourne I dreamed about setting up an experience like that for musicmakers... that was one of the best 2 weeks of my life, an incredible opportunity to meet people and make and immerse myself in music.

All these years later I'm finally taking the first steps towards that, with this 2-day In-person Musicmaking Weekend workshop.

Factory Studios is an iconic and creative place with a suite of studios that have been used by everyone from Massive Attack to IDLES.

Here's your chance to spend 2 whole days there working on a track, with guidance and mentorship from ZOiD, feedback sessions, hanging out in the evenings with the other participants, using some iconoic pieces of gear (if you want) including Roland TB303, MC202, TR707 with expansion pack, modular gear, Moog DFAM, Casio CZ101 and more.

Are you ready to take a track further than you've ever taken one before?

Take an existing track you already started, or start a brand new one and finish it in two days.

Testimonials for ZOiD's Other Programs:

Kevin Nolan

 

I can’t recommend this course enough if you want to take your music production to the next level and finally finish your tracks. Daniel brings serious expertise and deep knowledge from the worlds of electronic music, jazz, and the psychology of creativity. He delivers it all in a warm and encouraging way, helping you stay focused, build consistent habits, and “put in the reps” to create the music you’re truly capable of.

 

Michael Adaptogenik

 

I’m really happy I signed up for the 10 month program as it pulled together many scattered aspects of my music making and gave me a focus, a community of producers who inspire me and a some accountability so that week to week I improved and I no longer feel stuck and unfocused. I’m very confident that I’ll have some great tracks ready to release by the end of the course.

David Kitt (New Jackson):

 

I did some lessons with ZOiD after seeing his Aphex Twin Analysis videos. He showed me some music theory stuff which was which was really easy to understand and opened up the guitar to me in fun and inspiring ways. can't wait to do more lessons. He's a great teacher - Recommended!

 

Eamonn Doyle (D1 Recordings):

 

“Daniel is an exceptional guitar and music teacher. His ability to connect and relate the lessons across a wide range of genres allows for a very personalised approach. His deep knowledge of guitar techniques and theory helped clarify many things I’d been struggling with for many years, even within the first few lessons. Highly recommended !”

 

Ursuala Meany Scott:

 

I had been wanting to learn more about music production for a while but have always felt put off by the kind of guys promoting courses. This course has been the antidote to all that aggressive noise in the production world. ZOiD is inclusive, honest, quirky, and so generous in sharing his process and experience. I can highly recommend it.'

 

Colin Lawlor (Binomial Tunes):

 

ZOiD is a fantastic tutor and I'd recommend this course to anyone needing guidance or inspiration in terms of generating and developing song ideas or those seeking to improve their production, arrangement and sound design skills. 

 

ZOiD is helpful, enthusiastic, positive, approachable and encouraging. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to everyone from first timers to more experienced artists - even chancer hobbyist DIYers like myself! Honestly, if you are even vaguely thinking about doing this course, just go for it - you won't regret it.
