We are back with another artist series Ableton User Group meeting and this month we have the godfather of Controllerism, Moldover!

In this meetup Moldover will show you how he uses Ableton in writing and performance, specifically for his soon-to-be-released album Four Track. He’ll touch on other topics such as: designing custom controllers, working with artists such as DJ Shadow and Bassnectar and life as a professional independent artist in the Bay Area.

Bio:

Historically there are only a handful of artists who have pushed the limits both with their music and with the instruments of creation. What Bach was to the keyboard and Hendrix was to the guitar, this is what Moldover is to the controller. Fans from all walks are drawn to his live shows, disillusioned with "press play” DJs and eager to witness electronic music’s return to virtuosity, improvisation, and emotional authenticity. Dig deeper into Moldover’s work and you’ll uncover a subversive cultural icon who has redefined physical media with his Instrument-Albums, revolutionized musical collaboration with his custom Jamboxes, and is inspiring an entire generation of forward thinking music-makers by openly sharing his methods and madness.

“A musician at heart, inventor born of curiosity, and innovator by necessity, I believe the world calls him the 'Godfather of Controllerism' for damned good reasons". -John Tackett, Crowd Wire
