MAO class with a hyper-creative professional named Costals

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
After getting started with your music application (eg Ableton Live) you can experience a fun-oriented approach.

I will teach you how to unleash your creative genius using different games. The rules of these games will act as restrictions. The idea is to encourage creativity by limiting the options. Options which are far too numerous and which destabilize beginners, and not only!

Over the weeks, and ideally through daily work on your part, you will develop your own unique style - music that only you can make, no one else.

My approach is based on quality through quantity. If you want to make good music, you have to be willing to make bad music. And a lot ! I will teach you how to strengthen your mindset to overcome all the psychological blockages that creators face.

Thanks to this methodology, you will progress very quickly while having fun.

I can guarantee you will finish your first track in 1 month - as long as you can spend at least 15 minutes a day, take one class a week, and accept the idea that you will never be 100% satisfied with it. your work (this is normal). It doesn't matter what you think about it at the moment - your opinion changes, and what is certain is that you will have learned a lot in no time.

I also help you get the right material depending on how you want to make music and your budget. However, you can make music simply with Ableton Live and headphones or speakers.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I mainly publish music.

I was born near Gallipoli in southern Italy in 1987, and grew up in the canton of Geneva in Switzerland, where I am still based.

Active for ten years. DJ practicing since 2005 and performing since 2008, I have always shared my favorites through my mixes.

When I started in the trance scene, I was very influenced by Swiss DJs / producers Koris, Madwave, Dave Joy and above all, the prolific Marco Guardia who was behind the SHOKK and Flutlicht projects, as well as some Tatana productions , Energy and many others. Today Marco Guardia makes music for video games under the name of Monomirror. Hyper-creative who learns very quickly, he recently created almost by himself from A to Z the game Octahedron.

In 2019 my first series of ten years of existence with more than fifty episodes.

I launch my own label in 2020 and develop my online coaching business for people who want to live music.
