Description

This week Sonic Academy presents something a little bit different with an all-new course from Berlin-based House and Techno producer Christian Vance showing us How To Make Leftfield Techno.

Working in Ableton Live 10, Christian creates a complex, evolving, and downright awesome track that emerges entirely from using just the 'Amen loop' and one single bar long note.
Without a single note actually 'played', Christian crafts this next-level track using Ableton's intelligent MIDI effect racks, triggering sequences which in turn trigger others giving endless random outcomes ready for sculpting and editing in whatever way you want.

With patience and invaluable knowledge of how to really make the DAW work for you, this course is packed full of tips and tricks shared by a true professional and will help make complex sounds super accessible to those without a music theory background.

Above all else, Christian shows us just how much fun can be had once the right tools are in place to generate beats, sounds, and feed your creativity.

Make no mistake, this one is a real eye-opener. Get on it!

Instructor's Courses

Career highlights include being invited by Derrick May to collaborate on a remix project for the movie Tekkonkinkreet in Carl Craig’s Detroit studio. His second release on own imprint, Haul Music, was released on Carl Cox’s Global Underground compilation (#38 Black Rock Desert). Vance also remixed Parisian, Etienne Jaumet of Zombie Zombie fame on classic French label, Versatile. One of the more recent 12” offerings on his own label was praised by Resident Advisor featuring a classic remix by British legend Kirk Degiorgio. In 2013 he released the 12” EP “Uneasy Me” on Aril Brikha's Art of Vengeance record label with a remix by Aril himself. His latest project is a collaboration with Berlin artist, Discrete Circuit, entitled Away Soundsystem. The first EP from this project in 2016 features remixes from Joe Claussell and Mr.Ties. Vance’s own fusion of House and Techno music is informed and influenced by his classically trained musical background in combination with early experiences of original Mid-West electronic ideals. He has been performing his own music in a live format since the late 90s. That history can be heard in every live show and DJ appearance. Christian has played in various cities, countries, clubs and festivals in recent times. Stattbad, Tresor and About Blank in Berlin, Club Kyo in Singapore, Berns 2.35:1 in Stockholm to name a few.
