Testimonials:
"Ableton Live workshops in November 2009. It was one of those life altering events that changed my whole approach to composition and performance as an audio/video artist. Over the course of a weekend, I went from a basic working knowledge of Ableton Live to launching scenes and building sets. It is mind blowing what I can do now. I was further impressed by his organization and time management skills. He covered all the topics planned on his outline step by step, and went beyond by sharing his personal tips and tricks. I couldn't put a price on that added value. The best part of this particular experience was that I was just in time to order one of his newly released DVDs that contained tutorials that I can watch time and time again. I am planning on attending future events in 2010. I am particularly interested in expanding my possibilities with a Max For Live course as soon as it is available. Enough said. On a final note, I consider Brian Jackson as one of life's special people. He is truly a gentleman, a scholar, and a friend. Thanks man!"
