Grammy-nominated producer and composer Steven Ellison, AKA Flying Lotus, will be the latest artist to share his songwriting secrets through School of Song, an educational platform that offers online workshops with acclaimed musicians. Ellison's course will dive into his unique approach to production and composition while showing students how to build a daily musical practice that "lets inspiration flow". Other lectures will explore improvisation in the studio and on stage, and the role of individuality in developing a creative practice. If you're interested, the deadline to sign up is September 12th, and the course is priced at $200. Ellison recently released BIG MAMA, a chaotic seven-track EP that he discussed in detail in an interview with MusicRadar back in April.
