Ableton Live Workshop during UH SOS Conference
Presented as part of “Systems of Sustainability: Art, Innovation, Action” (S.O.S), March 27-29, Caroline Collective will host a hands-on Ableton Live Music Production Workshop, taught by Los Angeles-based electronic musician and DJ Steve Nalepa.
This four hour workshop offers a complete overview of the many functions of this incredibly powerful and flexible piece of music software. You will learn how to use Ableton Live for composition, studio production, sound design, live performance, and scoring to picture. The software’s approach is fresh and empowering, and once you understand the basic principles of how it works, creating music with this extraordinary tool becomes fun, easy and super inspiring. Ableton Live is the premiere music software application for every stage of the musical process, from creation to production to live performance. It is used in the live shows of today’s top electronic musicians and djs, including Daft Punk, Hot Chip, NIN, Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Flying Lotus. Whether you are a sound designer or a film composer, bumping hip hop or indie rock, dubstep or glitch, the versatility of Ableton Live makes it the ideal tool for both beginners and experts alike.
