BEFORE YOU START

FORMAT
& REQUIREMENTS.

Do I have to work every day?

No. The thirty sessions are self-paced. Each includes a smaller route for a day when you have five minutes.

Do I need more equipment?

Use the instruments and recording tools you already have. The retreat is about musical decisions and developing a piece, not buying a particular synthesiser.

How do I use the download?

Download the ZIP to a computer, extract the whole folder and open its index.html file in a current desktop browser. Keep the audio and practice files together. A PDF reader opens the workbook.

Does it need an account or internet connection?

No account or subscription is required. The downloaded retreat runs locally. Progress stays in your browser; use the included backup controls before changing computers or clearing browser data. External reference links need internet access.

What is the file size?

The ZIP is approximately 56 MB. Allow additional space to extract the files. For phones and tablets, the printable PDF is the simplest way to follow the sessions; local HTML and audio support varies by device.
