2013 ASCAP Songwriting Retreat December 9,2013

PreSonus was proud to be a part of the 2013 ASCAP Songwriters Retreat, held September 25th to October 4th at the 14th-century Ch teau Marouatte in the Dordogne region of France-an inspiring place for the lyrically inclined.

And that's the point. ASCAP has designed this retreat to bring out the best in talented writers. This year's 30+ participants were divided into different groups, every day, to write and record, keeping collaborative spirits fresh and healthy. At the end of the session, attendees return home with renewed artistic vigor, their hearts and hard drives full of song.

In fact, a dozen of the songs written at the camp this year are already on hold for major label artists, including The Temper Trap, Kelly Clarkson, Melanie Fiona, Nylo, Jessie Malakouti, and Jon Bellion.

PreSonus was happy to provide a metric heap of equipment to foster the creative process, including:

4 pairs of Eris E8

3 pairs of Eris E5

1 ADL 700

1 ADL 600

2 Eurekas

1 BlueTube DP

2 StudioLive 16.0.2s

2 AudioBox 44VSLs

2 AudioBox 1818VSLs

1 Partridge (in pear tree)

Photos from the event follow, as well as a kind thank-you video from the songwriters themselves. You're welcome, folks, and we hope you wrote enough hits to fill a 14th-century dining hall. Read more about it here.
