Connecting Seattle's music creators to Community, Education, and Opportunity
Following the success of our recent pilot, the SCA is delighted to open registrations for the next Studio Sessions, designed to provide a cohort of music creators with the opportunity to collaborate with an arranger, record with a professional multi-instrumentalist, and learn how ideas become reality in the studio world.
Studio Sessions Volume 2 is being hosted in at Sunwave Studios, a private home studio in North Seattle engineered by Jesse Gallaway. You may recall a "Mixing Demystified" Expert Speaker Series he hosted, or heard his work as one of SCA's go-to recording engineers for our Live Sessions concert series.
Arthur Sagami will be recording saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, bari), flute, clarinet, and bass clarinet.
Studio day: Sunday, October 18. Registration closes October 1st or when all slots are filled, whichever comes first.

The harmonic series sits at the nexus of synthesis and harmony. It touches everything from audio engineering to music theory. Join Nathan Rosenberg (Beat Kitchen) as he explains how this bedrock was behind the design of "Harmonic," an offshoot of additive synthesis he's calling "harmonic synthesis." Using the instrument itself as a hands-on visualization tool, he'll walk through how the overtone series shapes everything from mixing to sound design — and why it's the front door into synthesis, not just a theory requirement.
