This upcoming workshop looks like a blast! I will be trying my best to attend, barring any unforeseen circumstances. For those of you new to Ableton Live, songwriting, the electronic music industry and live PA/production this could be the just the thing…  Best of all, it’s only $50! You’d spend that much (or more) on a night out, why not invest it in your musical education?

I’m looking forward to honing my (admittedly rusty) AL skills as well as makin some new contacts in the Vancouver glitchhop/dubstep scene!

See you there!

A message from Ill Gates, “The Phat Conductor:”

Hey all you musicians + creative types… I’ll be doing a Music/Production workshop… It’s a presentation on my method of finishing large amounts of quality music quickly. I used to take 6 months to finish a tune I liked, and now I do a tune a day. I have taught many many people to do the same.

The workshop costs $50 for the whole shebang. If you’re broke (and i know a lot of musicians are) you can get in for FREE by bringing two other people who pay the full $50.

Here’s what you get for $50:

a) The presentation itself
b) A printout of the notes on everything covered
c) The Ill Gates Ableton Rack collection
d) Access to Ill Gates DJ templates (which are normally $50 alone)

The presentation and notes cover:

- How to actually finish lots of music in a reasonable amount of time
- Arranging and Songwriting
- Developing your own style, based on a personalized and effective Work Flow
- Sound Design
- Mixing
- Promotion
- Setting up Tours
- Getting your Music out
- DJing with Ableton Live
