It’s enrichment week at AMS Exeter meaning we have a great selection of guests visiting to share their expert knowledge 🙌

Today we had excellent sessions with Josh Bessant & Sam Fisher!

⚡ Sam Fisher kicked off this mornings session with The Art of Storytelling through Video Games: Sam shared insight into the ins and outs of telling stories through Music, looking at everything from music creation to ambient sounds and how to get your music embedded into the game.

⚡ Josh joined us this afternoon to share his experience being a performer/ songwriter and events coordinator for Get Rad Festival, as well as sharing more about his bands Crooked Little Sons recent European tour.

⚡ fluff is joining us tomorrow to share his experiences as a "One-man Punk Band" and how in the space of roughly 2 years he's gone from opening gigs in local towns to headlining shows nationally and recently performing at Glastonbury Festivals. He's also going to discuss artist branding with the students.

We can’t wait to share a BTS look at the sessions!

AMS Online Tutor, Roger did the Fairlight Programming for the new Squid record ‘O Monolith’ at Realworld Studios in Wiltshire 👏📀

Roger shared the following about working on the album: “The last song on the record is probably where I had the most influence. Arthur, the keyboard player
wanted a strange vocal sound, so I loaded a 'stab' which was from a recording of the Finchley Children's Choir, who were singing a cluster that I had scored for
a movie with Trevor Eve. Arthur liked this and tracked it all over the song. This must have inspired them to actually replace it with a vocal group of their own, with lyrics, with my sample in the background.”
