ILL.GATES Workshop May 23, 2010

http://abletondenver.com/ill-gates-workshop/

Ableton Denver and Basslab Music are proud to announce that ILL.GATES will be conducting his ill-methodology workshops on Sunday May 23rd and Monday May 24th in Denver Colorado.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

“I went from finishing a tune every six months, to finishing one or more a day, and I can teach you to do the same” – Ill Gates

Ill Gates is the new moniker of Canadian breaks producer The Phat Conductor.

He’s been producing music with the likes of Bassnectar, Si-Begg and a ton of others and has put together a brilliant lecture/workshop which can increase your skills and productivity massively in all sorts of areas by making you more efficient and teaching you how to not only write tunes, but to complete them and make them high quality.

Like many of the emerging US/Canadian glitch-hop scene, Gates favors Ableton live for performance and production, and he will show you how to set up racks (combination's of instruments and effects presets), “Sampler 128’s” (pre-loaded banks of samples which massively speed up sound selection for your tunes while at the same time giving you much greater control in sound design), use of Ableton for live performance/DJ sets, and techniques to get your creative parts of the brain to the forefront, so that you get to finish songs quickly without sacrificing quality, while keeping your music fresh.

LAYOUT:

1. Learning to Live Every Day as a Musician
2. Concepts of Songwriting
3. Workflow
4. Sound Design
5. Library and Organization
6. Tips, Tricks, Techniques
7. Promotion
8. DJing with Ableton Live
9. Q+A period

On top of all this, he’ll give you a pile of his DJ Templates, racks, custom effects, remix parts and course notes.

This 4 hour workshop has been getting incredibly positive reviews and feedback from producers in North America wherever it’s touched down – it’s pretty fair at only $50, and if you’d like to attend but can’t afford to, just find 2 friends who can, and you’ll fly for free (applies to pre-registration only!).

This is a rare chance to learn techniques and tips from a world class producer who’s not only putting out wicked records, but has been smashing audiences around the world with killer sets played to big crowds at such festivals as Canada’s legendary Shambhala, and the US Burning Man festival.

Feedback so far from Aussie attendees has been 100% positive, with a couple so far even paying extra AFTER the workshop finished – I kid you not.

Don’t take my word for it though… If you want to hear about a past workshop, and how much it affected those who attended (one of whom flew across the continent) you can read up here:
