Make Your Own Beats with Osani Balkaran | Maker-in-Residence at the Winnipeg Public Library

Beat-making and sound-making are essential parts of hip-hop music. In this workshop, learn about hip-hop and its influence on contemporary music. Learn about how beats are made, and then get started making your own. Osani will show you how to create your own patterns using a drum machine grid and melodies using a melody randomizer. Then, he’ll show you how to bring your beats and melodies together to form a radio-ready structure. All levels of experience are welcome.
