A. G. Cook announces songwriting workshop with School of Song

04 July 2025, 15:59 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Artist, producer and label head, A. G. Cook has detailed a new online songwriting workshop which will be run in partnership through School of Song.

"I’m extremely resistant to any dogma or manifesto, my opinions on music are constantly changing, and my best songs seem to write themselves – but I’ve spent roughly six thousand days working obsessively on different forms of songwriting (collaboratively, online & offline, alone) to the point where I’ve started to observe some recurring ideas and principles," A. G. Cook explains in a statement on the website.

"My own work has been nudged along by limitations (7G’s 7 instruments, Britpop’s Past / Present / Future) as well as various aliases, bands, collectives, projects, remixes etc… so I’m particularly looking forward to School of Song’s community, and really want to welcome participants from all genres and experience levels!"

Some of the topics covered will include 'Songwriting vs. Production' and 'Minimalism vs. Maximalism'. Further subjects will go into depth about collaborating with the self, questioning "What if you treated yourself as a third party in the creative process? Stepping outside our first-person perspective, embracing structured randomness, extreme limitations, aliases, and gamified songwriting", as well as exploring the paradoxical world of experimental pop.

Lectures will take place every Sunday in August. For more information, visit schoolofsong.org.
