Words by Chloe Karis

Everything you need to know about next week's showcase event.

Have you ever needed to know how to coordinate your own tour, the importance of livestreaming or how to create music in your own home? As part of Brunswick Music Festival, Milk! Records, Small Time and Creative Victoria are teaming up to present Sound Sessions: a free mini-conference that looks to spill the beans on all the slickest tricks of the trade.

Before it all goes down on Saturday March 13, we’ve collated a guide to everything you need to know in the lead-up to the mini-conference, including times, presenters, and what each session will entail. Plus, for those who can’t make it to each event in person, all sessions will be live-streamed through BMF Facebook page – it doesn’t get much better than that!

DIY

Saturday March 13 @ 11am 

Do you feel the need to learn how to develop your personal/band brand, finding a label, self-manage and release by yourself? This Sound Session develops your skills on how to do those and hear first-hand advice from those who do it themselves.

Featuring keynote panelists such as Milk! Records boss Jen Cloher, who will act as moderator for the session, as well as Marcelle Bradbeer, Samuel Gaskin and Simona Castricum, this session will help you navigate how to self-release merch, book and coordinate your own tours, manage your social media pages to promote and more!

The New Normal

Saturday March 13 @ 1pm

Even though live-streaming isn’t anything new, 2020 showed us the importance of artists sharing their music with their fans in real time during a livestream. This event, moderated by IsolAid’s Emily Unman and featuring Allara, Eliza Hull and James Seymour, will teach you tips and reasonings on the importance of live-streaming, where and why, and how to share your music live online.

Recording

Saturday March 13 @ 2:30pm

With a panel that includes Hachiku’s Anika Ostendorf, Diimpa and Raquel Solier and with Evelyn Ida Morris as moderator, expect to learn from some of the best in the biz with this session.
