Today, an increasing number of musicians work at the intersection of acoustic instruments and electronics. Yet many who have mastered their instrument from an early age never had the chance to explore the world of electronic music. For musicians or ensembles seeking guidance on integrating electronics into their live performance, practice routine, composition, recording, or music production, Alexey offers lessons, workshops, and coaching grounded in years of experience: performing with his solo project 5 String Theory, composing for theatre and film, and collaborating with a wide range of artists.

BEGINNERS LESSONS

In a professional and cozy studio on the border of Neukölln and Alt-Treptow in Berlin (or online) you’re invited to individual lessons that take you from the very first step of connecting your instrument to a computer to confidently incorporating electronics into your live performance and music making practice. All lessons are tailored to your needs, goals, and learning pace.

WORKSHOPS

For ensembles, music classes, schools, and other groups of musicians, Alexey offers a one-day crash course - Electronic Music for Classical Musicians 101. This hands-on workshop covers essential skills such as connecting your instrument to a computer, basic recording, home-studio setup, and using software to sketch and produce your own music.

COACHING 

For individual musicians and ensembles aiming to integrate electronics more fully into their live performance or compositional work, Alexey offers expert mentorship and exploratory guidance in developing original creative tools and forming fresh perspectives. Past partnerships include projects with the Sonar Quartett, Hayrapet Arakelyan, and Julia Sandros-Alper, whom he supported in expanding their repertoire and discovering innovative artistic pathways.

All sessions are based in Ableton Live (and Max for Live) and available online or in person.
