About

I help music producers get the most out of their home set up, and confidently create the music they dream of making.

I also help artists/ bands who need help with arranging, recording, mixing and mastering, working from various studios.

My genre speciality is the area of the Venn diagram where electronic music and indie/ punk meet.

I've spent almost a decade working in the techno & electronica world, but have also been in bands since I was a teenager.

    "It was really cool to do the course with David and get to know ableton Live more in depth over two days!

    It gave me a really good overview of how electronic musicians use loops and jam in the software to create full tracks."

  • Field of View

    Matthew has now released 6 EPs, and is working on a live electronic show

    "I had online sessions looking at structure and mixing on one of the tracks which was extremely informative and helpful.

    This also helped me get the others over the line and released. I couldn’t recommend him more."

  • Sephony

    Ana was recently the composer & music producer on a video games creation competition

    "Before I started lessons, I felt like I was completely out of my depth with Ableton, to the point where I was almost too scared to use it,

    but now, I feel like I can make the music I always wanted to make, and I can navigate Ableton to a degree where I’d actually feel confident helping others out with it!

  • Luke Snitter

    Finishing off his first EP and building a live show

    "Did a course with David and I learned so much! David is a great teacher, very flexible, professional and enthusiastic about helping you achieve your musical goals.

    Not only were the lessons good but the extra support and community that comes with the package is a real touch and super important for music producers that rarely leave their bedrooms!"
