Breaking the 4/4

Dive deep into the word of renowned Drum & Bass DJ & producer Shimon, as we trace back his early roots in the defining of a genre, through his close affiliation with Andy C, Ant Miles & Ram Records. We’ll follow his journey through to present day, with the eventual forming of his own record label AudioPorn. We’ll also have the chance to explore some of Shimon’s current projects in Ableton Live, and gain some incredible insights into the inner workings of one of DnB’s best loved artists.

What is Max for Live?
Max for Live is a platform to build your own instruments and effects, tools for live performance and visuals, and much more. Although it is a visual programming language it doesn’t need to be something only for developers. In this session Ableton Certified Trainer Phelan Kane introduces Max for Live in a way that helps musicians and producers get the most out of this amazing extension to Ableton Live. If you want to follow along, feel free to bring your own laptop, headphones and download the demo of Ableton Live 10 from the Ableton website.
