Heaps Decent is an Australian organisation empowering young people through skills building, cultural access and creativity.
Working with underrepresented and marginalised youth, our participatory program of music and visual media activities provides a pathway to discovery, personal growth and agency through self-expression.We’ve been fortunate enough to receive support from one of the most highly sought after music technology companies. Native instruments manufacture professional audio software and hardware and have been responsible for pushing the music production envelope in recent years with constant innovation.
Several of their products, most importantly their incredible beatmaking unit – Maschine, have comprised the backbone of our Heaps Decent music workshop setup for quite some time. Their tactile and intuitive nature make them the ideal companion for our music tutors to guide workshop participants into the world of electronic music production.
Thanks HEAPS to the team at Native Instruments for sorting us out with their amazing gear, the Maschines will be put through their paces in no time!
