The creative path is not a straight line. In this workshop, you will develop a workflow focused on experimental approaches utilizing randomization, stochastic methods, polymeters, polyrhythms and more using Live and M4L. Experimental audio processing and non-linear mixing activities will be included in the compositional process to create unique sound qualities as well as overcoming creative blocks.

• Examine various forms of (non)linear compositional strategies
• Identify approaches that provide musical contingency
• Select Ableton's techniques & M4L devices to use in the writing process
