Podcast - UON Popular Music Podcast 3: Anna Jaichner aka Silky Wilford

I recently sat down with one of my favourite people in Northampton, Anna Jaichner as part of the University of Northampton Popular Music Monthly Podcast. Anna is a local Northamptonian singer songwriter in the process of releasing her debut EP, one song at a time. We discuss living in Northampton, the local (amazing) music scene, being a women in the music industry and writing and releasing music as a self-producing artist.

Lecturer in Music Production @ The University of Northampton

Following the success of last year, I am now excited to announce that as of last Monday (11th of July 2022), I have accepted the post of Lecturer In Music Production at the University on a part-time basis. The Music Production BA (Hons) course is one of the most comprehensive I have seen with modules encompassing an incredibly varied landscape within the music and sound fields!

Associate Lecturer: The University of Northampton

The Creative Practitioner - This module focuses on developing professional skills relevant to working both in the music industry and further afield. The module has a focus on enterprise, entrepreneurialism, and professional development; students will explore a variety of ways by which they might manage their professional careers.

DAW1 - This module develops a solid understanding of the practical use and operation of Logic Pro X as a Digital Audio Workstation (i.e. a software multi-track recorder, editor, audio and MIDI sequencer). Although based primarily inside computer software, the module demonstrates how many of the elements of theory and practice covered are transferable to other, specialised areas. The module takes the form of lectures covering the theoretical and general concepts behind DAW techniques.

Music & Sound Design for Media - This module introduces students to the essentials of storytelling, narrative and drama through music and sound design. The module contains theoretical work to help analyse, reflect and understand the relationship between music, sound, and moving images.

Guest Lecture: Northampton University’s “Changing Futures” Week

I am pleased to announce that I have been offered the opportunity to guest lecture at Northampton University next month as part of their Changing Futures week to discuss my endeavors in the film and music industry.

Tight competition as Poornima Seetharaman of Zynga is speaking at the same time. Should be fun, I am looking forward to having a chat with the students and hopeful I can give them some ideas to think about. For any students who were present for the lecture and want some clarity, feel free to contact me.
