Behind the Cut: Ziggy Stardust
Join songwriter, musician, and teacher Kenna Burima and NMC’s Studio and Electronics Engineer Jason Tawkin for an in-depth exploration of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, diving into the groundbreaking music technology that shaped David Bowie's iconic album.
Discover surprising connections to the National Music Centre’s collection, including a rare demonstration of the legendary ARP 2500 synthesizer, an instrument that contributed to the album’s cosmic sound.
Kenna will perform selections from Ziggy Stardust, while Jason unpacks the innovations in multi-track recording that made the album a sonic masterpiece. Witness a unique recreation of the recording process and experience firsthand how technology transformed music history.
“Working with Kenna helped me take my music from a fleeting idea, to reality. In fact, I completed more creatively in the last year than I did in the previous 37. Most importantly, I’ve gained the courage to share my art with the world, and give it the life it deserves.”
