60 minutes to change the way you explore sound design.

1. 00–10 MIN

   Getting to know your work

   We start with what you're working on, the kind of music you make, the sounds you're drawn to, and what you'd like to get better at.

   I also want to understand how you currently approach sound design, where you tend to spend too much time, and what usually makes you feel stuck.

2. 10–25 MIN

   How I think about sound design

   I'll walk you through the ideas and working habits I've built over the last 10 years of doing sound design every day.

   A big part of it is learning to get much more out of fewer tools, instead of constantly adding new ones.

   We'll talk about exploration, processing, movement, resampling and how I make decisions while I'm working.

   We'll also get into the relationship between sound design, mixing and arrangement, because for me they are rarely separate things.

3. 25–60 MIN

   Live sound design session

   Then we open your session and work.

   We'll build sounds, push them in different directions, process, resample, compare versions and follow whatever starts to feel interesting.

   I'll show you how I explore without needing to know exactly where the sound is going from the beginning, and how I use taste to decide what is worth keeping and what is worth pushing further.

   The idea is that by the end of the session you've seen the whole thought process happen in real time, not just the final result.

You'll leave with the sounds and chains we made during the session, but more importantly, with a workflow you can keep using in your own sessions.
