B-212 It's All About The Song!!! will explore the structure and writing processes for writing a dance song and creating a track in relation to the past and present markets and current music production technologies. What exactly song structure is and how to go about writing a hit song. Does a hot music track with a sample comprise a song? How much vocal do you put in a dance track to still keep it appealing for a DJ and yet playable in a club? Are dance music lyrics trivial? We will examine the history of dance songs and how they have evolved and where are they going.

Moderator: Leila Cobo - Billboard/Leilacobo.com Panelists: RedOne Mohombi 6:30 PM Sound of Noise – Film Screening WMC & MIFF present “Sound of Noise” – a film that follows two classically trained but rebellious musicians as they aim to complete their four-part avant-garde Magnus Opus "Music for One City and Six Drummers". The musicians, who carefully seek out four drummers in addition to themselves, strive to utilize nearly every element of city life that would not normally associate with musical instrumentation. We watch as this gang of “musical terrorists” executes each movement of the project in the most unconventional of ways. Screenings are at Regal South Beach Cinema 18 – 1100 Lincoln Road Miami Beach, FL 33139 Visit http://miami.slated.com/2011/films/soundofnoise_miami2011 for tickets
