PGDay Lowlands2026

In an era dominated by AI-generated audio, why use old fashioned dgital music production? In this lightning talk, we take a quick behind-the-scenes look at the history and creation of the PGDay Lowlands conference songs.

We’ll explore the production workflow—from selecting reference tracks to working with digital instruments and virtual synths—while keeping human touch at the core. Discover how traditional input (yes, an old-fashioned piano keyboard!) and collaborative human feedback shape a track’s structure, dynamics, and finale.

Beyond the technical DAW bits, this talk highlights how custom music brings energy, identity, and a sense of community to PGDay Lowlands—serving as the soundtrack between sessions and for recorded talks.
