This presentation will demonstrate how to build a multi-track recording facility in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic based solely on donations, community support and student engagement.
After being invited to El Conservatorio Nacional de Música for a lecture on production, it was clear that despite a desire for a recording and production program, there was no infrastructure in place to start this project. As a result of our collaborative work, and 8 months of collecting donations, visits, workshops and increased student enthusiasm, the conservatory now has a complete facility and a curriculum that will start in the Fall of 2018. All donations were the result of collecting unused equipment from local audio engineers and producers in the Boston area. This presentation will offer video, photo and audio evidence of the process and the excitement of the students in this program, ages 13-25.
