Track One inclusive music production workshops for FLINTA people

Track One inclusive music production workshops for FLINTA people have been launched by Camille Doe and Marge as a jointly developed initiative. The programme is explicitly focused on inclusivity and aims to make the tools and processes of music production more accessible to FLINTA participants who have historically been underrepresented in the field.

The first workshop in the series will open in Bordeaux and serves as the launch event for the project. The organisers present the workshops as part of a broader effort to build community and increase representation in music production.

Camille Doe previously offered online Twitch courses aimed at the same FLINTA audience to reduce barriers to studio access. Emilien is responsible for communication and artistic direction within the Track One collaboration.

The first Track One workshop will take place at Café Sonore in Bordeaux on April 17. It will be led by Camille Doe and will focus on the Ableton Live software. The session is presented in a non-mixed format and has a limited capacity of about ten people. Registration for this workshop carries an enrollment fee of 18€.

The workshop is primarily designed for beginners and includes discovery of the software interface, the basics of electronic music production, and a discussion of participants’ journeys and questions of legitimacy in the field. Track One is described as a collaboration that links Camille Doe’s Twitch-based offerings for FLINTA people with Marge’s project. Emilien is responsible for communication and artistic direction within the Track One collaboration. The organisers state a long-term objective to hold several workshops throughout the year across different cities to bring participants together and increase representation in a field they describe as lacking diversity.

Track One is presented as a collaborative project that connects Camille Doe’s Twitch-based educational activities for FLINTA people with Marge’s project, and it was launched by Camille Doe and Marge as a joint initiative. Within this collaboration, Emilien is reported to be responsible for communication and artistic direction, supporting the organisation and presentation of the workshops. Camille Doe is identified as an educator in the project context, continuing work she already carries out online on Twitch aimed at the FLINTA community to reduce barriers to studio access. Marge is described as a partner in the project, linked to the Track One initiative through this collaboration.

Track One workshops cover practical educational topics aimed at beginners, including discovery of the Ableton Live software interface, the basics of electronic music production, and discussions addressing participants’ journeys and questions of legitimacy in the field. Sessions are described as oriented toward demystifying production tools and offering hands-on familiarization with software functions and workflow. The organisers present the curriculum as introductory in scope, focusing on core concepts rather than advanced techniques. The workshops are also reported to include space for participants to discuss personal experiences related to access and belonging in music production.

The initiative states community-building and inclusivity goals that focus on creating safer, more accessible pathways into music production for FLINTA people. Organisers indicate a plan to hold multiple workshops throughout the year in different cities to bring people together and increase representation in a field described as lacking diversity. The programme links Camille Doe’s existing Twitch educational activities for FLINTA people with Marge’s project as part of this inclusive approach. Emilien is reported to coordinate communication and artistic direction for the initiative.

The organisers address accessibility challenges in music production and are quoted directly on that theme. “The production environment always seemed, as for many others, reserved for somewhat ‘geeky’ profiles, comfortable with technology and software, which can give an impression of complexity. In reality, people don’t even think it’s accessible, even though many DJs would like to create their own sounds to play.” They also use the term “safe” spaces when describing the intended environment for the workshops. The available sources do not provide further attribution for these quoted phrases.

“The goal is to hold several throughout the year so everyone can meet at all levels.”

Another quoted phrase used in the announcement is “bring forth new narratives all over France.” These quotations are presented as reported by the organisers. The available sources do not provide additional contextual detail for these specific quotes.
