  • “This session was very insightful in terms of making a groove from the scratch along with some interesting concepts of electronic production in Ableton Live. The session was fun, informative and inspiring!”

    LASYA/Srishti Biyani - Alumni of Berklee College of Music, Producer and Bansuri Performer

  • What I liked the most was that Alper explained very well his songwriting techniques - from having an inspiration and coming up with a song structure, to transferring this inspiration into musical ideas and achieving certain sound. The workshop was very interactive, all questions were answered thoughtfully, in details, and with fluency using Ableton.”

    Gergana Hunt - Harvard University + Fulbright Association Board of Directors

  • “Alper put definition and meaning to some techniques that I already used but also opened my eyes to convey the message better.  His method of teaching is very interactive and his examples are very precise, so it’s easy to grasp everything. The atmosphere was very friendly and I would certainly go for one more of his lectures on advanced techniques.”
