Refine and master your creativity in the art of music production, through Certified training in the worlds leading music production and performance software Ableton Live.
Welcome to the Academy of Music Technology
My name is Emile Hoogenhout and I am a Multi instrumentalist, music producer, educator and founder of AMT.
I have been a professional musician for over 14 years, composing and performing with many popular artists in and around Africa.
As well as being a music educator and instructor for the past 12 years, I have worked in many musical styles and various ensemble environments,
as well as helping many students receive accredited Royal Schools and Trinity distinctions in performance and music theory.
In October 2011 I was selected to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, Spain. based on my composition and performance skill.
Since my Ableton certification in 2013 and as one of only 3 Certified Trainers in Africa
I have spent the last three years developing this all inclusive practical syllabus,
which equips each AMT participant of any skill level with the tools to venture and flourish in their respective musical genre
and gain a deeper understanding of the multiple facets of Ableton Live and computer based music production.
The complete AMT Ableton curriculum ranges from studio production techniques such as; recording, editing and sequencing audio and MIDI,
to live performance approaches with the likes of using Session View follow actions, live template designs and personalised Controllerism setups.
Expand your setup with the integration of external instruments such as drum machines and synthesisers
and learn how to create your own unique signature sound by sampling and building personalised instrument and audio effects racks.
Gain a greater knowledge of synthesis by building your own synthesiser instrument rack.
Incorporate Audio Units and VSTs in racks to gain hands on control of automation through macros.
Dissect and analyse a popular composition to recreate, remix and translate it from the studio arrangement to a scene based live performance in session view.
This just to highlight but a small fraction of this thoroughly comprehensive four month Ableton Certified Training curriculum at the Academy of Music Technology .
