Live production with the Ableton Push
In December last year, I set myself a big challenge for 2025: to build a full one-hour live set from scratch in Ableton. I won’t pretend I’m fully ready for a whole hour yet, but I am proud of myself for showing up, staying committed, and keeping this goal alive.
Of course, it would’ve been way easier to keep doing what I always do, open Ableton, jump straight into Arrangement view, and end up producing a new track instead of actually working on a live performance. And honestly… that’s exactly what happened most of the year 😆. I kept producing, learning, diving deeper into sound design and musical knowledge, and I’m grateful for that journey too.
But I never forgot the goal.
And I finally managed to create a 8-minute « track », fully improvised in the moment. I only prepared simple elements, my kick, drum patterns, bassline, and some glitchy synths, I dropped everything into Session View, hit play, and let the flow guide me.
This video is the result.
The full 8-minute version is on my YouTube channel for the curious souls ✨
