Being this year's Head of Production has been a fantastic experience. It's been amazing to help total beginners in getting to grips with making their own tracks, as well as meet and discuss music production with those more experienced. Reflecting on the past few months, I feel I have built a nicely fleshed-out production wing to EMS that was previously lacking, but I also feel I can do so much more if elected for a second year.

If elected, I first plan to continue the weekly 3-hour workshop. However, in response to numerous people wishing to learn in DAWs other than my preferred FL Studio, I plan to make them more accessible. I aim to do this by opening the sessions up to more collaboration from the society at-large, with experienced producers in other DAWs helping out when they want.

In addition to this, I will also greatly improve the organisation and activity of our Discord. I will post helpsheets, sample packs and other useful content applicable to all DAWs in order to make learning easier.

Lastly, I will continue to develop plans for an EMS record label/outlet, an idea currently still in its formative stages that I would like to bring to full fruition next year with biweekly single and EP releases from society producers of all musical backgrounds and skill-levels. These will be released on Soundcloud and Bandcamp, and perhaps even streaming services.

Overall, electing me Head of Production will get you everything you got this year, plus extra!
