Sonic Alchemy: Designing Sounds from Field Recordings

A partir de 75 $ /h

In this class, we’ll start by exploring your surroundings through field recording and use them as material for composition. Then we’ll bring those recordings into a digital audio environment and process them using experimental sound design techniques. We will explore the potential of sound together and learn how to listen for opportunities. By the end, you’ll have your own custom sound palette and the skills to create unique atmospheres that are unique to you. We will create textures, atmospheric sounds, instrument racks, and even drum racks!

This class is perfect for you if you want to have your own unique sound. Don't pay for samples, make your own.

Acerca de mí

I am a multidisciplinary shapeshifter exploring the potential of sound, video, and performance. My work is experimental, navigating the space between reality and imagination to explore identity, perception, and vulnerability through technology. As a musician, I compose, design sound, and improvise vocally; as a visual artist, I craft abstract video, projection-based installations, and text-based art. I create simulations and machines to reveal hidden, overlooked, and unexplored realities and relations. My artist persona, duality, reflects my manifesto: embracing both nature and technology as forces of true innovation. My work has been guided by personal experiences, philosophy, metaphysics, feminism, hybrid human-machine relationships, deep listening, traditional Turkish singing, mindfulness, and lucid dreaming.

I love learning as much as I love teaching! If you are looking for an alternative, experimental, friendly teacher I am here for you!

From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I offer personal harmonica lessons in a variety of genres.
The content is entirely based on your interests and is very much oriented towards actual playing and improvising.
With me you can learn everything you need for the blues harp. From the first notes, replaying your favorite songs and special techniques to fluid improvisation and playing together with other musicians.
I'm also happy to convey a solid understanding of the music theory behind the harmonica, but if you don't feel like learning theory, that's no problem for me.
I welcome adults and young people over 12 years of age.

Music is a language and must be learned like a new language: first by imitation, then by deciphering, and finally by encoding through regular practice.

This practice involves imagination and play, repetition and evaluation, always positive and fun so that the concepts become more easily understood.

No matter the age, you can learn and master this language. We'll work from a specific repertoire and with some supporting exercises to help you understand musical organization and grammar.

Si de verdad quieres aprender, aprenderás 💪
No importa si al principio sientes que no entiendes, ni cuántas veces haya que repetir algo: siempre existe una forma clara de aprenderlo.
No necesitas saber informática ni tener experiencia previa. Empezamos desde cero, paso a paso y a tu ritmo 🧩
Aprenderás audio como se trabaja en la vida real, no solo teoría. Porque en la práctica:
• 🎙️ casi nunca se graba una sola toma
• ✂️ una locución se edita
• 🎤 una voz se construye con varias tomas
• 🎸 un instrumento se corrige, se limpia y se organiza antes de mezclar
Te enseño edición de audio profesional 🛠️: selección de tomas, limpieza, cortes, fades, organización de sesiones y preparación correcta del material antes de entrar a mezcla.
Además aprenderás:
• 🎚️ Mezcla profesional
• 🔊 Masterización
• 🧠 Flujo de trabajo real de un ingeniero de audio
• 💻 Herramientas y técnicas usadas en la industria
• ✨ Truquitos prácticos que no siempre enseñan en la universidad
Roma no se hizo en dos días... ⏳
pero con la guía correcta, el camino es mucho más corto 🚀
👉 Si no sabes por dónde empezar, escríbeme y lo definimos juntos.

My classes are completely personalized, and I adapt to your level, your style, and what you want to achieve: from learning to use your DAW with ease to finishing your own songs with a solid sound. We'll work on the music that inspires you, because producing makes much more sense when you connect with the style you truly love.

You'll learn to build backing tracks, program rhythms, work with harmonies, record and edit audio, design sounds, and understand the fundamentals of mixing. We'll also see how to structure a track, develop ideas, and turn a demo into a complete, shareable song.

The approach is practical and clear. I want you to understand what you're doing and gradually gain independence. If you're starting from scratch, we'll go step by step; if you're already producing, we'll refine the details to make your music sound more professional. All in a friendly, creative, and motivating environment, where the important thing is that you enjoy the process while seeing real results.

I am Santiago, with 10 years of experience in the world of vinyl, mixing, and several tours around South America and Europe as a DJ.
I have a Higher Technical Degree in Electronic Music from EMBA (Buenos Aires School of Music), and multiple specialized courses such as Mixing/Mastering at Arjaus, and other Argentine academies.
I have a platform for disseminating content from the world of electronic music, four record labels, three in vinyl format and one digital, and with this, I work around the entire process of creating a song and its distribution.
I am part of more than 10 productions in both digital and vinyl formats, with the support of renowned artists from the underground scene.

I'm here to help you take your sets to the next level, develop new skills for your performances, and learn specific techniques for mixing vinyl records.
These classes are designed for people with zero knowledge of the subject, as well as for those who want to perfect their mixing or music selection technique.
We will go through a process of discovering timbres, sounds and intentions to incorporate into our sets to tell a more complete story in each performance.
In addition, I have a music production studio in Poblenou, from where I work on projects daily for my own labels as well as for third-party work. I would also love to help you better understand the world of the producer, or directly start from scratch with the adventure.
I look forward to your message to get started, whether it's in person with me as a DJ/Producer, or virtually as a producer. I can show you my studio and the work of some of my students so you can learn more about my work!
