Have you ever wanted to get better at Ableton?

I’ve got over 6 years experience working with the program and am trying to gauge interest on teaching classes.

Individuals can get personal sessions for $50/hr and Groups of 3 or more are $35/person –

Projector provided – Mac based.

I can come to you or we can work a location out –

I have produced two albums (one electronic, one live performance) and also have qualifications in band managerial experience, booking, composition, and music theory. I am also heavily networked in North Carolina in the music scene. In addition to composition I also specialize in sampling, keyboards, and vocals.
How can I help you reach your artistic and business goals in 2012?

Des Ark’s WXDU V.3

WXDU V.3 feels like a stolen peek into Aimée Argote’s songwriter notebook as she explores questions of identity, commitment, and the barely navigable balances between love and betrayal, respect and hate. (Paramnesia Records)
by Grayson Currin
A quick look at the first decade of Des Ark could convince you that the band’s mercurial membership policies have stymied the productivity of Aimée Argote’s musical concern. To wit, Des Ark has had at least twice as many drummers as proper albums, making each live appearance by the band somewhat of a guessing game about what to expect—a tightly rehearsed and wound duo or trio, a group still finding its chemistry or a hushed Argote, hunched over a guitar or banjo, singing alone?…
