Event Info:
At our first meetup for 2026, Tangerine graces the stage to share her approach to making live sets, specifically her planning process, use of production techniques, compositional approaches and personal philosophies. The end goal is to make live sets more accessible!

About Tangerine:
Tangerine (otherwise known as Clementine Girard-Foley) has spent the better half of the last decade immersed in the 'Australian' underground, both organising and playing at raves, club nights, festivals and more. Tangerine's productions are varied and continuously evolving, traversing neoclassical piano, ambient and the more left-field corners of dance music.

About Ableton User Group Naarm/Melbourne
Facilitated by Ryan Powderly, Ableton User Group Naarm/Melbourne (AUGNM) is a free community get-together providing a space for producers, musicians and likeminded creatives to connect. Learn from some of the best and brightest electronic producers and performers as they present their works-in-progress and share the tricks, tips and techniques that take their music to the next level. If you’re an Ableton Live beginner or a seasoned electronic music veteran, there’s always something new to learn at these meet-up sessions. Ableton User Group Melbourne/Naarm is a collective of producers and musicians of all skill levels. They’re drawn together by their interest in using music production software Ableton Live. This group is a user and a community program and not officially administered by Ableton.
