Josh Spoon Releases Tutorial Series for Creating Unique Ableton Live Racks

Josh Spoon is a music producer, writer and educator based in California. He produces what he calls “transport music,” that takes the listener on a journey stemming from his deep roots in hip-hop and low end culture. In addition to producing music, he’s also written music technology articles as a contributor to various outlets. As an educator, Josh has released many videos on his own YouTube channel including his “30 Days of Push with Ableton Live” series. He’s also a Splice user.
