Music

Contact our Music Coordinator, Chris Bathgate, Bathgate@netural-zone.org.

Through performance and technology, we generate, perform and distribute original music. Neutral Zone hosts a concert venue, recording studio, and workshops in performance technology, djing, and mcing with a focus on entrepreneurship. This is the complete package for discovering your talents and engaging in the music industry.

B-Side Promotions, Mondays 4-5:30pm
Combine your business skills and love of music through booking and promoting concerts and special events at the Neutral Zone. Event Promoters meet weekly to discuss upcoming events, create marketing strategies, and learn what it takes to run the B-Side, our concert venue. Promoters receive a cut of the door (meaning: you get paid).

Performing Technologist /pt/, Wednesdays 5:30-7pm
Imagine spinning a DJ set while the music controls live video projection, or building custom controllers to manipulate music and visuals for live performance? Learn cutting edge software by attending weekly mentoring sessions and intensive Sunday courses in Djing and multimedia performance. Special courses for young women only are also available.
