**RSVP on [343 Labs website](https://343labs.de/events/naoba-masterclass/) to reserve your seat!**

Ableton User Group and 343 Labs Berlin is proud to welcome NAOBA as part of our Visiting Artist Masterclass series!

In this workshop, NAOBA will share her process of building Ableton Live templates that allow her to create and transform sound in real time during performances. Using her archive of field recordings, NAOBA designs flexible systems with Max for Live devices, custom effect chains, and macro-mapped MIDI controllers, allowing the templates to function as expressive instruments alongside live flute and voice.

NAOBA will demonstrate how raw environmental recordings are organized, layered, and continuously reshaped through macro controls, spatial effects, and live processing. This approach enables fluid improvisation and the creation of immersive, evolving soundscapes during concerts or streaming performances.

There will also be space for discussion and questions about workflow, template architecture, and creative approaches to sound design and live performance.

**Tamara Montenegro (NAOBA)** is a sound artist, producer, and researcher working at the intersection of bioacoustics, psychoacoustics, and music composition. Her practice explores how sound shapes human perception, emotional states, and the nervous system, drawing deeply from field recordings collected in forests, oceans, and remote ecosystems. Through these recordings, she creates immersive soundscapes that reconnect listeners with the living intelligence of the Earth.

Tamara holds a Master’s degree in Sound Art from the Universitat de Barcelona and a background in Biology, which informs her scientific and ecological approach to listening. Her work spans music releases, spatial sound installations, workshops, and research initiatives such as *Heart in Nature* and the *Gaia Sound Temple*, platforms dedicated to preserving and transmitting the voices of natural environments.

Performing and releasing music under the name NAOBA, she combines organic recordings with synthesis and production techniques to create deeply atmospheric compositions. Through her workshops, she shares practical tools and creative approaches for transforming raw environmental sound into expressive, emotionally resonant sonic works.
