When it comes to Ableton Live Dan really knows his stuff. It seems like whatever the query or issue with the software is he has the answer, and varying perspectives and options to offer as solutions. He has a very creative approach to using Ableton and as a musician and instrumentalist is experienced marrying live instruments with Ableton as well as some of the more technical aspects of making beats and grander compositions.

Francesca Ter-Berg (Yja, Imogen Heap, Fran & Flora)

Dan is an absolute wizard on Ableton (amongst many other things). Despite considering myself a fairly advanced Ableton user, when I come across a snag or am looking for a new tunnel of discovery to lose myself in I know I can rely on Dan to help me out. Would recommend to a friend whether they need advice on live performance, midi routing, or complex sound design.

Tim Doyle (Chiminyo, Maisha, Cykada, Gary Bartz)

Absolutely any questions I've have about using Ableton, no matter how big or small, Dan knows the answer. He is a serious Ableton maestro and a bank full of knowledge!

Rosanna Ter-Berg (Engines Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, The Lion King)

Dan is everything you could want in a teacher: not only fantastically knowledgable and passionate about music technology, production and music in general, but also someone with a talent for communicating his knowledge clearly and enthusiastically to others, no matter what their starting point. With his deep knowledge and clear teaching, Dan has really helped me begin to get past my ‘fear of the digital’.

Merlyn Driver (Director of Making Tracks)

I feel like a painter who's painted for years in primary colours, using my finger as a brush and a4 printer paper as a canvas. Through lessons with Daniel, I've found the colours of the rainbow and more, he's taught me to apply strokes of the brush with the most exquisite finesse, to a hand-stretched canvas, unbleached and unblemished.
