A 4-week creative lab for electronic musicians who want to break out of inherited rules and develop a sound that feels unmistakably their own.

Who decided an octave only has 12 equal notes?

Your tools have been teaching you how to hear. Now it's time to decide how you want to listen.

The piano roll didn't invent sound. But it did teach us to hear in one very specific way. And if you've ever felt like your music keeps circling the same familiar patterns, that default might be shaping more than you realize.

The same scales. The same rhythms. The same harmonic movements. The same production decisions everyone else is making.

It's because modern music tools quietly guide you toward a very specific way of hearing — and toward imagining sound through one particular lens.

And what if that lens is only one possibility?

Decolonize Your Ears is a 4-week intensive designed to help electronic musicians and artists expand their listening, question inherited defaults, engage with deeper questions, and build a personal sonic language through hands-on experimentation.

This is not theory alone. You'll work with the Sonic Identity Method™ and the Decolonized Listening Framework—an original creative methodology I've developed through my work as a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Together, these frameworks combine practical tools, guided production exercises, and reflective practices to help you expand your musical vocabulary, challenge inherited compositional habits, and develop a sonic identity that is uniquely your own. Throughout the course, you'll also join weekly live sessions and an active group space for feedback, reflection, and support.
