Background
The Academy of Sound Engineering (ASE) is South Africa’s leading sound engineering school, established in 1997. Housed at the SABC, South Africa’s broadcast hub and centre of Africa’s audio industry, the college trains over 400 new students every year. A pioneering force in the industry, the ASE team launched the first national network of sound engineering schools in the country, training over 4,000 sound engineers. Many of ASE’s graduates now hold premier posts locally and internationally.
CultureClash is the Academy’s annual celebration (organized by it’s students) which showcases its talented student. Trained to overcome the challenges of a multi-format, multi-genre event, ASE’s students are involved in every aspect of CultureClash – from mixing, recording and filming the event, to planning, and even performing! Since it’s inception in 2007, CultureClash has grown in attendance and stature, drawing some of the top entertainment acts in the country. This year’s offering features over 40 acts in total, including award winning artists like Zebra & Giraffe, Gang of Instrumentals, EvolverOne, Ashtray Electric, Voodoo Child and many more top artists.
CultureClash was created to create awareness in the audio industry of the college, it’s capabilities (and thereby to create opportunities for ASE’s students); and to create a vibrant, dynamic and challenging event to give ASE students a taste of the industry they will enter. All aspects of the Academy’s various courses in Music Production, Broadcasting, Live and Post Production are required for CultureClash; giving students a chance to show-off their skills, and learn under pressure. Proceeds from CultureClash benefit historically disadvantaged students.
