The live sessions for this class have ended, but you can still sign up to access all recordings and materials.
Sega Bodega is a producer, songwriter, and artist whose collaborations include Shygirl, Arca, Björk, and many others, as well as the Kiss Facility project alongside Mayah Alkhateri. His work bridges technical precision with philosophical inquiry - emphasizing emotional honesty, experimentation, and a commitment to growth both inside and outside the studio.
We'll explore how creativity is shaped by how we live and what we listen to - prioritizing a calm, curious, and balanced place over the pursuit of happiness as a fixed state. Healthy habits, honest friendships, and inner balance support better music-making, while exploring wide musical influences keeps our work fresh, intentional, and alive.
In this course, we'll cover a range of topics, including:
The Human Element
We'll explore how to build songs from something inherently human: the voice. Sega Bodega will share his process of generating harmonic material from vocal recordings, bringing a sense of soul into digital production from the very first moment. We'll also cover techniques for transforming the voice into a full sonic palette: chopping and resampling, pitch modulation, formant shifting, and layering - looking at how vocals can drive both melody and texture.
Ego & Intention
What does it mean to create without ego? Sega Bodega will explore the idea that we don't "own" ideas - that they find us, and that the life we're living determines whether they arrive. Through honesty, self-awareness, and clear intention, we can move beyond expectation and access more meaningful creative work.
Catalogue, Taste, & Tools
From DAWs to plug-ins, finding the right tools can transform your creative flow. We'll look at how to develop a personal catalogue of sounds, work efficiently, and grow through emulation and experimentation across genres - maintaining the wide listening habits that keep a spark and curiosity alive in your music-making.
Study, Emulation & Genre
How do we grow as producers? We'll explore emulation as a path to originality - how recreating the work you admire can internalize lessons that feed back into your own, why working across 25 different styles teaches you more than being stuck on one song, and why the most exciting producers have always drawn from the widest possible listening pools.

FAQ:
- Q: What musical / DAW (digital audio workstation) experience should I have?
- A: People across all musical levels will be able to gain something from the course. There are no specific DAW requirements, though familiarity with a recording medium of your choice will be helpful for some of the assignments (e.g. sampling based songs). Sega Bodega will be working out of Logic during lectures.
- Q: What if I've never written a song before? Can I still participate in this workshop?
- A: Yes! As with any new skill, just starting is usually the hardest part. The songs are optional and this workshop will provide the structure and accountability we all need to get started and follow through, for beginners and old guard writers alike.
- Q: Is there an enrollment cap?
- A: Nope! This is a lecture-style class with open enrollment. The song shares will be optional with breakout rooms of 3-4 people.
- Q: Will Sega give me feedback on my songs?
- A: Due to the class size, we cannot guarantee that you'll get Sega's feedback on your songs. However, our teachers are active on our song sharing platform and may leave comments on students' submissions.
- Q: I can't make the lecture times for some (or all) of the classes. Can I still participate?
- A: Yes! We send out the recordings of lectures at the end of each class day, so you can watch the lectures on your own time.
