This 2-day hands-on workshop will explore the building block techniques to make Ambient and Experimental music, harnessing the common approaches of some of the genres’ iconic composers from the past and present, put into practical use in Ableton Live (11 or 12).We’ll look at the generative and aleatoric composition techniques from people like Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani and Terry Riley, as well as advanced sound design techniques for soundscapes and textures with synthesizers and audio processing. Each technique will be demonstrated using the built-in devices in Ableton Live 11 or 12, and students will build their own mini compositions using these techniques with help and guidance from the instructor.
