The music association Mutamu has launched its first free and public training activity: a basic live sound engineering course that will be held on June 6th at the Gazteleku in Urretxu-Zumarraga.

This activity is aimed at all interested individuals, such as organizers of self-managed events, volunteers working at concerts, musicians who want to understand what goes on behind a stage, and amateur technicians. As Mutamu explains, "We want people to lose their fear of technical aspects. We want a musician to understand why their amplifier sounds bad, or a concert volunteer to gain the skill to set up a microphone without depending on anyone."
The course will be practical and participatory. In the morning, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, assembly and theory will be covered, learning the basic principles of sound engineering: signal, equalization, microphones, and connections. Afterwards, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, a lunch discussion will take place, providing a relaxed space to clarify doubts and share experiences.
In the afternoon, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, practical live music and mixing will be addressed. Participants will put their learning into practice by listening to a live performance and with the guidance of the instructors. The course will be taught by a volunteer technician from the Gazteleku, who has firsthand knowledge of the space's needs and resources, alongside a professional technician.
The approach will be primarily practical, with minimal theoretical content and adapted to the participants' level. Registration is free, but capacity is limited, and Mutamu members will have priority. The deadline to register is June 4th. To sign up, you can use this link: [forms.gle/RdwroyZ49d95Kpkc9](https://forms.gle/RdwroyZ49d95Kpkc9).
In the future, they plan to offer courses on music self-management, technical training, and new editions of the sound engineering course.
