About The Teacher
Music Production
Valeria Radchenko is a multi-disciplinary artist, singer-writer, music producer and DJ with 7+ years of experience in electronic music production. They explore the fusing of mediums and genres to dream new worlds, weaving in speculative fiction with personal narratives. Their music sits somewhere between instrumental and electronic, grounded by their voice.
Radchenko has performed and DJ’ed at venues across London, such as Corsica, The Glove That Fits, Avalon Cafe and SET Woolwich. Aside from releasing their own music independently, they have also composed soundtracks for films and performances, most notably for April Lin’s feature-length film, “(Tending) (to) (Ta)”.

MORE ABOUT THE TEACHER
I started tutoring this year (2023). I have varied experience in teaching sound/music workshops, casually and at undergraduate level. I have been running vocal workshops since 2018 at universities, festivals, online and at private events. In Autumn 2019, I was a sessional lecturer at the University of Reading, teaching a series of workshops on coding sound in Max.
I am currently running workshops on creating soundtracks for performances. I would love to continue to work with artists 1-1 to help them realise their sonic visions - be it a piece of music, sound art or a soundtrack. I can assist with the conceptual side of songwriting and arranging; share ideas on how to experiment with sound, drawing on my own practice; or help with developing/finishing an idea.
