January 2026 Music Lab/ Ionawr 2026 Lab Cerdd

Music Lab is open to anyone aged 14 - 18 yrs with an enthusiasm for music and a creative mind.

COURSE TUTOR: WILL FRAMPTON

GUEST ARTIST: TOM WHITWELL

SESSION FOCUS: MODULAR SYNTHESIZERS

We’ll be exploring modular synthesis through Music Thing Modular’s Workshop Synthesizer. The Workshop is a full modular synthesizer in a case smaller than a hardback book. Each participant will have their own synth and will be given creative challenges to help create their own music.

Music Lab is a creative space for 14–18-year-olds to experiment, collaborate, and push the boundaries of music-making. Whether you're into beats, samples, synths, or live instruments, this is your chance to try new things, learn new skills, and explore the possibilities of music technology.

Led by course tutor Will Frampton and joined by a rotating lineup of guest artists from the music industry, each session gives you the chance to create original music using a wide range of tools — from traditional instruments and voice to found sounds, apps, synths, loops, and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).

You’ll get hands-on with recording, editing, mixing, and sound design, blurring the lines between genres and discovering your own unique sound. You're also welcome to bring your own instrument or gear to plug into the mix.

Music Lab is free to attend and open to all skill levels. Just bring your curiosity, and let’s make some noise.

SESSION FOCUS: MODULAR SYNTHESIZERS

Mae Lab Cerdd yn ofod creadigol i bobl ifanc 14–18 oed arbrofi, cydweithio, a gwthio ffiniau creu cerddoriaeth. P'un a ydych chi'n hoffi curiadau, samplau, synths, neu offerynnau byw, dyma eich cyfle i roi cynnig ar bethau newydd, dysgu sgiliau newydd, ac archwilio posibiliadau technoleg cerddoriaeth.

Dan arweiniad tiwtor y cwrs Will Frampton ac yn ymuno â rhestr amrywiol o artistiaid gwadd o'r diwydiant cerddoriaeth, mae pob sesiwn yn rhoi cyfle i chi greu cerddoriaeth wreiddiol gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o offer - o offerynnau traddodiadol a llais i synau wedi eu darganfod, apiau, synths, dolenni, a DAWs (Gorsafoedd Gwaith Sain Digidol).

Byddwch chi'n cael recordio, golygu, cymysgu a dylunio sain, gan gymylu'r llinellau rhwng genres a darganfod eich sain unigryw eich hun. Mae croeso i chi hefyd ddod â'ch offeryn neu offer eich hun i'w ychwanegu at y gymysgedd.

Mae Lab Cerdd am ddim ac yn agored i sgiliau ar bob lefel. Dewch â'ch chwilfrydedd, a gadewch i ni wneud sŵn
