Hey folks,

I’m going to be leading a session on Live sound design and production in the upcoming Ableton Masterclass in San Francisco on November 22.

If you’re looking to take your Ableton Live skills to the next level, this is a great opportunity to learn advanced techniques from Ableton certified trainers… and from artists like me!

For more details and to register for the event, visit http://www.electroniccreatives.com/san-francisco or email Timo Preece at timo@abletonmasterclass.com.

Hope to see you there!

I wish we had more opportunities to do gigs like this!

The good folks at Euphoric Delerium invited us to play a set at Expression College, and also give a “behind the music” talk/demonstration about our creative process and some of our production techniques. If folks are interested, we might also talk a little bit about our strategy on the business and marketing side as well.

The event is free and open to the public. Oh, and the venue has a Meyer surround sound system, so the audio is going be extra nasty.

Hope to see you there!

Saturday, October 17th, 8:00pm – 3:00am
Expression College
6601 Shellmound Street, Emeryville, CA
8:30: Production tutorial/demonstration by Trifonic
9:30: Live performance by Trifonic
Followed by dubstep, electro and minimal tech sets by Vince Santora (Antiserum), Cumulus, DJ Pudgy, and Dhyan Moller

Hey folks, we’re playing a happy-hour set at the swanky Swig Bar in San Francisco on Thursday, October 1st.

We go on around 8pm. Below Zero DJs and other folks will also be spinning.

Hope to see you there!

We get a lot of emails asking about our techniques for programming our music and designing our sounds. We’re of course always happy to answer emails, but I figure it would be valuable to get a more public discussion going as well.

So, I’m thinking about starting a production blog where I’ll show how we do things in the studio and try to answer as many production-related questions as I can.

If this sounds interesting to you, I need your input: What topic(s) should I cover? What questions do you have about Trifonic’s production? What are you most interested in learning about?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts…
