Max Alper is a sonic artist, educator, and writer who has been making "weaponized memery as critical sonic arts pedagogy" under the IG handle La Meme Young for half a decade. As of 2020, La Meme Young has expanded to a fully autonomous virtual learning community for musicians and artists of all mediums, supported entirely through crowdfunding at www.lamemeyoung.com. Programming for this community includes live classes, performance workshops, and group critique sessions held multiple times a week over Zoom, as well as monthly ongoing guest artist talks and lectures on niche topics in the sonic arts. The goal of this growing virtual learning project is to not only create a space for artists to discuss and uplift each other's work, but to democratize music pedagogy across an international network of those seeking a space to learn outside of the Ivory Tower.
