Our Instructor: Joshua Schnable has been writing music with technology for the past 20 years, and using Ableton Live since 2001. Stylistically his music ranges from ambient, minimal techno and dub, to more melodically driven IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). He's released two collaborative albums, Raindays (2005), and a 2009 live performance. An ambient album awaits release, and a new project (Disconnector) is underway.
