Songwriting with Max of slenderbodies
Sit down virtually with the lead producer and vocalist of slenderbodies for this 90 minute songwriting creative workshop.
Slenderbodies tours nationally and internationally with appearances at festivals like Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Live Out Mexico, Hullaween, and were scheduled to appear at Bottlerock this year.
Class Overview: In this 90-minute class Max will pull back the curtain on his songwriting process. He will dive into an existing slenderbodies song and reverse engineer the creative process. While reverse engineering this song you will learn the fundamentals of songwriting and then use those core elements to create the first cut of a song together as a group. Participants will select the theme, vote on chords, and melodies, and be co-writers in this creative session.
