Creative Audio Exploration: From Modular Synthesis to Sonic Journaling
From 44 £ /h
This is a unique hands-on class that blends creativity, sound design, and emotional reflection. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience with audio tools, you'll learn how to turn everyday sounds and electronic instruments into powerful expressions of thought and feeling.
You’ll use tools like modular synthesis, keyboard improvisation, found sounds, and chance-based games to:
Understand how sound influences mood, memory, and focus
Create your own sound pieces or “sonic journals”
Explore your creative flow without pressure or judgment
We may use equipment like synthesisers, turntables, vinyl records, field recorders, and even your own voice or body movements. The class adapts to your needs — whether you're curious, blocked creatively, or eager to learn new tools and techniques.
No modular experience needed — sessions are guided step by step and focus on playful exploration, not technical complexity.
Each session is structured but flexible, allowing you to experiment and leave with something meaningful.

About Me
I believe every learner is unique — with their own strengths, challenges, and ways of connecting with sound. That’s why I take a personalized approach to teaching, starting with a discovery session to understand your needs, goals, and creative style. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist, we’ll build a path that works for you.
As a freelance Audio Engineer, Sound Designer, Music Producer, and Live Performance DJ based in London — originally from Tenerife, Canary Islands — I bring years of hands-on experience across recording, modular synthesis, immersive sound design, and live performance. My creative work blends analog and digital, intuition and experimentation, structure and flow.
Teaching for me is not just about transferring knowledge — it’s about sparking curiosity and building confidence. Whether you want to master technical tools, explore creative improvisation, or develop your unique voice in performance, I’ll support you with the tools, mindset, and feedback you need to grow.
My sessions are flexible, sensory-rich, and designed to meet you where you are — in either English or Spanish.

Stuck in a creative rut? Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from your flow? This session is like a sonic therapy lab — where we diagnose your creative block and build a custom audio-based routine to help you move forward.
We combine tools from DJing, modular synthesis, breathwork, ambient sound, and improvisation to:
Identify what's blocking your creative energy
Reconnect through sound-based exercises (tailored to you)
Use rhythm, drones, randomness, or silence to shift your state
Build a daily or weekly practice to stay inspired
No modular experience required — all exercises are adapted to your level, and modular elements are used creatively and supportively, not technically.
💡 Examples of personalized exercises:
Overthinking? → random patching, dice games, modular disruptions
Stuck in loops? → turntable scratching, reverse sampling, rule-breaking patterns
Low energy? → rhythmic tapping, delay feedback, movement + sound combos
Disconnected? → voice loops, breath-controlled textures, flute or ambient layering
🎯 Ideal for artists, musicians, writers, and creatives who want to shift their inner state and unlock playful, intuitive energy.

This class is a creative gym for your brain — using sound, randomness, and movement to break through overthinking, improve focus, and spark new ideas.
You’ll explore playful, improvisation-based audio games that involve:
Using modular or software tools with random elements (like Cellz, dice, or generative sequencers)
Exploring simple modular patches on a compact Nifty Case to generate unpredictable sounds and evolving patterns
Creating mini sound stories from surprise prompts
Reacting instantly to vinyl textures, field recordings, or environmental sound
Building short rhythmic or melodic patterns from chance rolls
Developing confidence and flow without worrying about getting it “right”
🎯 Ideal for:
Artists, musicians, and DJs looking to break creative patterns
Students and neurodivergent learners needing focus tools
Anyone who wants to explore sound as play, not pressure
No modular experience needed — all patches and tools are guided step by step, and the focus is on experimentation, not complexity.
Expect laughter, surprises, and maybe a little chaos — but always with reflection at the end to ground your experience.
