PLAYGRND is at its core the live set I've built over ten years of producing and performing with Ableton Push.
Here I give a tour of some of the key ideas, features and sounds of PLAYGRND and use music I made recently with PLAYGRND as a jumping-off point.
Why did I make PLAYGRND? Well:
1) We lose inspiration gravitating between Push and our Mouse and Computer Keyboard.
2) We get lost in (sometimes glorious but often frustrating) rabbit holes and it can feel like we have nothing to show.
3) We often work alone. Nobody's asking us for anything.
Sometimes, however, we have one of those rare moments of flow. And they are just the absolute best.
PLAYGRND is all about flow; practical, creative and social.
PLAYGRND aims to give an answer to the above problems, through an epic Live Set (The same one I've used for years), a Guide, Creative Challenges, and Community Support.
It's a big ambition. It's huge. This year I'm trying to do things I'm scared of. I'll add a notch to that box.
PLAYGRND is, I believe, the fastest way to make music with Push, and consists of a unique package of Ableton Live Instruments, Devices, Learning and Coaching. PLAYGRND includes:
1) PLAYGRND Live Set. A bespoke, designed-for-Push Ableton Live set / Project File that will blow your socks off, designed from the ground up from 10 years of experience from a seasoned Push performer and product specialist. Get in Flow and stay there. It's built to be quick, light-weight on your cpu and powerful. It's constructed with custom samples and native devices, making it both unique and stable.
2) PLAYGRND Guide & Walkthroughs. 100s of Videos covering every instrument, every device and function, with creative tips and suggestions for producing and performing with Push and PLAYGRND. Video Walkthroughs of how I take on Creative Challenges.
3) PLAYGRND Challenges. 8+ weeks of Creative Challenges for you to explore and make something from. Focussed making and learning at the same time.
4) PLAYGRND Feedback. Share your musical ideas with other PLAYGRNDers, with optional challenge sharing areas to get feedback within a private course community.
5) PLAYGRND Community: [Early Bird Bonus] In the introductory period of PLAYGRND you'll have bonus access to a special, private (temporary) community where you can share ideas and questions with other PLAYGRNDers.
It's been a 2-year journey to build PLAYGRND. I'm really excited to hear what you'll make with it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments below.
