In the run up to Focus Wales 2012, we are working in partnership with Glyndŵr University to present a series of unique live performances at the 'Centre for the Creative Industries' - during which the performances will be filmed and recorded for broadcast at a later date. Principle lecturers of the ‘Television Production and Technology’ & ‘Studio Recording and Performance Technology’ courses at the university are working closely with Focus Wales to deliver this project, which gives audience members the unique opportunity to experience the process by which live music broadcast sessions take place.

This year Focus Wales are collaborating with ‘Vic Studios’ at Wrexham Victoria Youth Centre, to present the ‘Introduction to Remixing’ project.

This project offers 10 young music enthusiasts the opportunity to partake - FREE of charge - in the 2 hour micro course, which offers participants the opportunity to learn the basics of music remixing. The sessions will take place at the Wrexham Victoria Youth Centre (13 Hill Street, Wrexham, LL11 1SN), and will be presented by Course Director and Studio Co-ordinator Mike Harmina, at a time to be arranged to suit each participant.

Participants who successfully complete the course will be rewarded with a FREE Focus Wales 2012 Weekend Festival Wristband, granting free access to each live music event and music seminar during the festival; which takes place across multiple venues in Wrexham over the 19th, 20th & 21st April. Successful participants will also be awarded an OCN ‘Introduction to Remixing’ Level 2 qualification certificate – a break-down of the course can be found here

Participants must be over the age of 14, and all sessions must be completed by the 17th April 2012.
