ABLETON LIVE WORKSHOP
COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES

Presented by:
WILL MARSHALL
LIAM SHY
PYRAMIND

Saturday, February 28th :: Noon - 5pm
Pyramind Studios, San Francisco

Part 1 :: Instrumentation, Production and Arrangement Workflow by Liam Shy

We will begin by exploring the early stages of songwriting, including the often overlooked pre-production stage. Liam will then demonstrate techniques to harness the power of Live's Session View for coming up with ideas quickly and on-the-fly. The last step will be understanding how to navigate from Session View to Arrangement View in a fun and creative way! Expect to see some Max For Live, Push and useful Ableton shortcuts deployed to create a streamlined workflow!

Part 2 :: Harmony, Melody and Drums by Will Marshall

Diving head-first into a low-tempo groove, Mr Marshall will demonstrate the construction of deep, bass-heavy beats. Next he'll look at Harmony, Melody and Structure; building a song outline in Live using applied Pop Theory. Finally, he'll look at translating this outline into a fully realized, polished track.

Early Bird Ticket Price :: $100 (Catch while you can!!!)
General Ticket Price :: $150

Workshop Hours :: Noon - 5pm
