Description

Back by popular demand Techno legend Christian Vance is more than welcome once again here at Sonic Academy with an all-new 'How To Make' course where he creates a fierce Peak Time Techno banger in Ableton Live!

Christian's courses are renowned for their clever use of macros and Ableton's rack generators, and this one is no exception. Using a single MIDI line that feeds three different instruments along with an unconventional use of two separate kicks, this is not only a music creation course but also a lesson in utilising Ableton's capabilities to jam and have fun with your sounds!

There are no rules here and this one is very much about teaching you the tools to use yourself rather than just recreating the same track again. Once you take the time to map controls and set up effects the different possibilities for your sounds are practically endless.

Check it out and level up on your skillz!

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.
