I am an Ableton / Computer Music Production tutor who works at Connect for Music Record Label. and runs a regular night called Meme. I specialise in these areas:

-Physical interaction with music software through a wide variety of hardware control devices.

I teach privately to a wide range of people including professional DJs, electronic / dance producers and musicians, singer / songwriters, avant-garde. Any age above 14 is welcome.

I also teach Sound Design, Sampling and Synthesis.

* building a performance setup including midi controllers and the wii remote
* recording vocals and instruments
