Workshops

Working sessions taught from sixteen years of shipped work, not slideware. The Fall 2026 cohort has concluded — The Prose Portal and The G.R.I.D. Workshop return Spring 2027. Private sessions run year-round, remote by default.

Taught From the Work Itself

Every session is drawn from a completed, owned body of work: the 16-year NAOPC transmedia canon, dozens of albums on professor:clock records, 164 published articles, four live web properties. Nothing taught here hasn't already shipped.

The instructor is Damien Lamar, founder and creative director — 25+ years across A&R, electronic music, and narrative design. Sessions follow the same six-step engagement as Our Process: request, scope, approve, deliver. No generic curriculum.

Four-week live course · September 13 – October 4, 2026 · Concluded · Returning Spring 2027

The G.R.I.D. Workshop

Your body of work, archived, digitized, and presented as one structured catalog. Four Sunday lectures, three midweek Q&As, three small-group work-shares — live on Zoom, recorded if you miss one. You leave with your grid built. The Fall 2026 cohort concluded October 4. The next cohort opens Spring 2027.

LecturesSundays Sep 13, 20, 27 & Oct 4 · 11:00 AM ETFirst lecture runs two hours; the rest, sixty minutes.
Q&AWednesdays Sep 16, 23, 30 · 8:00 PM ETSixty minutes. Bring the work, bring the stuck points.
Work-sharesSaturdays Sep 19, 26 & Oct 3 · 11:00 AM ETBreakout rooms of three or four. Everyone plays something; everyone hears something.

Map the catalogAn honest inventory of everything you have shipped — tracks, versions, stems, artwork, writing. What exists, where it lives, and what is one dead platform away from vanishing.
Digitize and consolidateMasters, metadata, filenames, and formats — one canonical archive you own, structured so any future release, sync request, or reissue starts from order instead of a search.
Narrative continuitySequencing a catalog into one story: eras, catalog numbers, and the thread a listener can follow across your releases — the discipline behind a 15-year canon.
Present the gridTurning the archive into a public, structured body of work — a ledger, a dossier, a page that compounds. Each participant closes the course with their grid live.

The Sessions

W·01

The Passionate Tango

Human–Machine Creative Collaboration

Directing generative AI without surrendering authorship: prompt systems as creative instruments, curation discipline, and the iteration ratios that separate a catalog from a content farm. For producers, labels, and teams adopting AI on their own terms.

Proof: 5,000+ prompt iterations curated into finished albums across the later NAOPC volumes — method, not magic.

W·02

Frequency-Conscious Composition

Music Production & Sound Design

Composing for the nervous system, not just the charts: 432 Hz base tuning, solfeggio distribution, binaural architecture, and carrying a frequency concept from session file to mastered release. For composers, producers, and sound designers.

Proof: INTENDED RECEIVERS — 26 tracks, 51:25, fully binaural, 432 Hz base with 528 Hz threading. Hear it at Music.

W·03

The Long Canon

Transmedia World-Building

Designing a story universe that compounds instead of fragmenting: character governance, brand architecture — one master brand, six living properties — and release strategy measured in years. For studios, writers' rooms, and artists building beyond a single release.

Proof: The New Adventures of ProfessorClock — a 16-year, 15-volume canon, completed 2025 and owned outright.

W·04

Own Your Archive

Independent Publishing & Web

Converting a body of work into one commercial asset: static-first web production, netlabel operations, catalog stewardship, and why rented platforms should never hold the only copy. For independent artists, archivists, and small studios.

Proof: this site — hand-authored, dependency-free, and the consolidated front door for the entire estate. Now enrolling as the four-week Grid Workshop.

Formats & Engagement

The Session 90 minutes · Virtual

One topic, one room, live Q&A. The fastest way to put a method in front of your team or classroom.

The Intensive Half day · Virtual or on site

Lecture plus hands-on lab. Participants leave with work started, not just notes taken.

The Residency Multi-week · Cohort

A recurring cohort working toward a finished artifact — a track, a canon bible, a published archive — with critique between meetings.

Remote is the default; in-person is arranged per engagement. Pricing follows scope, quoted after a short consult per the process. Classrooms and community organizations: say so in the request.

Questions, Answered

Which workshop is for me?

Writers — The Prose Portal: a twelve-week worldbuilding and creative writing arc, Sundays at 4:00 PM ET. The Fall 2026 cohort has concluded; the Spring 2027 cohort opens at proseportal.com. Musicians and producers — The G.R.I.D. Workshop: four weeks on archiving, digitizing, and presenting your body of work. The Fall 2026 cohort concluded October 4; Spring 2027 dates coming. Teams, labels, and classrooms — the private Session, the Intensive, and the Residency below, available year-round.

When does the next cohort open?

Both programs return Spring 2027. Exact dates will be announced at proseportal.com and here. Use the contact form below to be added to the early-access list.

How much experience do I need?

For the Grid Workshop: a body of work — two releases or two hundred, scattered across old drives or not. The course brings order to work you've already made. For The Prose Portal: a story you want to build, at any stage. All levels are in every room by design.

Which tools do I need?

Whatever you already use. The Grid Workshop's method — inventory, consolidation, metadata, presentation — applies to any DAW or storage; a computer and access to your work is enough. The Prose Portal asks only for something to write with.

Is there an enrollment cap?

No. Grid Workshop lectures are open enrollment, and work-shares scale by adding breakout rooms of three or four. The Prose Portal's Sunday sprints are free and open to all.

Will I get individual feedback?

In the Grid Workshop, the instructor is active in the share thread throughout the four weeks and leaves notes on posted work, and the weekly work-shares are where everyone is heard. The Prose Portal is a live weekly room built on shared work — its rhythm and community details are at proseportal.com. Past participants have finished first memoir chapters and published first novels.

What if I miss a live session?

Grid Workshop lectures are recorded and sent the same day; its Q&As and work-shares are live only, though you can submit questions ahead and they will be answered on the recording. The Prose Portal is a weekly live ritual — check proseportal.com for its schedule and catch-up rhythm.

How do I secure a spot in the Spring 2027 cohort?

Use the contact form below to be added to the early-access list. Spring 2027 cohort members will be offered first access at founding rates before general registration opens. Teams: private sessions, intensives, and residencies are available now, invoiced after the consult per the process.

Can I bring this to my team instead?

Yes — that is what the private Session, the Intensive, and the Residency are. Pick one in the request form and the studio scopes it with you on a short call, per the process.
