We’re back with the second instalment of our new termly series, pointblank Live Sessions. pointblank Live Sessions was created to showcase the amazing student talents on offer at our London school and display the wealth of different creative skillsets, genres and stylistic art forms we host here. If you’d like to learn more about the courses we offer in London, head here.
The idea for PBLS was spearheaded by our Radio students, who led a selection and audition process to find a collection of distinctive and diverse acts to partake. The second episode comprises five stand-out acts from our current cohort. From dreamy original songs and compelling vocal work to diverse ensembles of instruments, the second session serves as a refreshing addition to the series – and exhibits the exquisite talent on offer at pointblank Music School. Tune into pointblank Live Sessions above.
In the video, hosted by Hannah Ivey and Anhad Khanna from the Radio presenting and production course, we have Singing & Songwriting student Lua de Santana AKA LUADSANT performing her dreamy original, ‘Gatinho’, which was produced by Raphael Karell. Next up SHWN SVVY & Paper Boat Cllctve took centre stage with their enchanting track ‘Dejected’ featuring strings, guitar, bass, percussion and vox. The third artist, Hatley Edmonds, from the Intro to Music Production course, performed the stripped back and heartfelt ‘Crazy’ which featured Diogo Faim, a Mixing and Mastering student, on guitar. The next performance, however, sees Diogo Faim step into the spotlight and showcase his vocal ability with the track, ‘No Shortcuts’. Finally, our last artist of the night, Singing & Songwriting Certificate student Samuele Calcagno a.k.a. Zamien the Alien delivered the upbeat ‘G A L A X I E S’ featuring Romeo on keys.
pointblank Live Sessions was recorded in Studio 1 at our Orsman Road facilities using our world-class equipment including our SSL Duality Desk and live studio which was customised for the occasion.
