Cloud House at PS1 Close House (538 S. Gilbert)
sliding scale: $20-$1150

Participants will learn the history and context of techno in Detroit and across the globe, where discarded hardware proved to be staple in creating the elements of techno, and how it has evolved to what we know today. Primordial elements of techno production; such as synthesis, use of drum machines, rhythmic patterns, sampling, groove, track arrangement, structure, and mixing will be thoroughly explained using Ableton Live as a canvas. By the end of the workshop, the participants will have a finished a track of their own production and built a small library of personal sounds to help them continue their production journey.

Participants need to provide their own laptop with a free 30-day trial of Ableton Live downloaded.

Registration deadline: Feb. 1
