    Red Bull Music Academy – Toronto 2007
    _______________________________________________________________________

    Have you got what it takes join the academy?


    Application Phase: March 23 – May 04, 2007

    Red Bull Music Academy 2007 – Application Phase Begins!

    Calling all producers, musicians, MCs and DJs!
    The Red Bull Music Academy will teleport to Toronto in 2007 for a whole new adventure in sound.
    Last year, twenty seven year old Daniel Jacobson from Dublin jetted off to Australia to join other musically inspired and talented people from 33 countries around the World, at the Red Bull Music Academy workshops in Melbourne.
    So if you feel you can cut it at an international level then get your application in straight away, there’s only 4 weeks left!

    So what’s the Red Bull Music Academy all about?

    The Red Bull Music Academy goes down like this:
    Aspiring, inspiring music makers, vocalists and DJs from around 30 different countries come together in a new location each year. Key industry giants, from every genre, join the chosen few & share their knowledge on exactly what they do and how they do it….

    An outrageous array of outboard gear, DJ-mixing set-ups, analog equipment, acoustic instruments, mics and music production software are there at their fingertips, and every moment presents a new collaboration or recording session. Days and nights are a haze of speaker vibrations, conversation and perspiration, while the non-stop musical activity flows from the studios, to live broadcasts on rbmaradio.com, to the clubs, galleries and cult venues of the host city.
    All in all, this is a once in a lifetime chance for a first-hand perspective from some of the most influential folk in the music world!


    Toronto 2007

    Previous Academies have visited Berlin, Dublin, New York, London, Sao Paulo, Cape Town, Rome, Seattle and Melbourne – all beats blazing, all faders up. This year’s edition will touch down in Toronto, one of the biggest and most cosmopolitan cities of North America, nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario.

    Toronto is home to the second-highest population of foreign language-speaking residents in the world, & boasts diverse culture and architecture. Independent galleries and record stores pop up west of Chinatown, while vibrant clubs and music temples can be found on the back streets of Little Italy. There are many native tongues here, and music is one of them.

    The main stage for Canada’s thriving hip hop scene, Toronto has a heavy jazz tradition, and explodes with cross-pollinated musical lineages from deep house, disco and the miniature/crashing scapes of Canadian techno, to big-bottomed space dub, electro rap and experimental indie rock. From Mathew Jonson to Black Uhuru, and from Gino Soccio to Oscar Peterson or D.F.A. 1979: there's plenty of fresh heritage to uncover. So set the metronome. It’s time to count down to T-dot.

    How do you register?

    Anyone interested in joining this year’s Academy in Toronto must follow a few simple steps. Prospective applicants should pick up an application CDR from their local vinyl emporium or download the application form at www.redbullmusicacademy.com. They should then send the completed questionnaire along with a mix-CD or selection of his/her own music, and a current photo to the Red Bull Music Academy between March 23 and May 04, 2007.

    Once the application period has ended, sixty of the most promising applicants will be invited to the workshops in Toronto. Flights and accommodations will be covered by the Red Bull Music Academy. If invited, participants should plan on being a part of either Term 1 (September 23 – October 05, 2007) or Term 2 (October 14 – October 26, 2007).

    By July 06, 2007, all applicants will be notified via email whether they have been invited or not. Those who have applied previously but have yet to be invited are certainly encouraged to give it another shot. As quite a few second- or third-time applicants have learned, perseverance can certainly pay off.

    Application forms and all the vital stats and info are available at www.redbullmusicacademy.com. There you can also find miles of essential mixes via the RBMA Radio stream, and video footage from unforgettable sessions. There're also photos galore as well as diaries of previous years and a forum to speak one’s peace. All this and first-hand perspectives from some of the most influential folk in the music world. Download the inspiration.
