how it works

  • Every course in the catalogue runs on the same unit: a two-hour session. Twice a week is the standard cadence, so a six-session course runs three weeks, an eight-session course four, and a twelve-session course six. Sessions run in the evening, which means you can do this alongside a job.

  • Every course includes five hours in a VOYCE studio. They are not a bonus. They are the practice slot: the place you apply what the session covered, on the equipment you were taught on.

  • Production is what you make. Performance is what you do with it in a room. Projection is what an audience sees. Every course sits in one of the three, and courses are taken individually.

  • Every enrolled student receives 90 days of VOYCE Access with their course. While it is active, you get member rates where published, currently on Lab rental, along with priority booking and the same privileges as any other member.

  • Fees are set per course, with sessions, studio hours and materials scoped in. Write to academy.voyce@gmail.com for the current fee schedule and start dates.

    ABLETON LIVE

    Play. Produce. Perform.

    Learn Ableton Live as a creative instrument. From idea sketching and arrangement to live performance and hybrid workflows, this course trains you to think fast, work fluidly, and translate instinct into finished music, whether in the studio or on stage.

    THE ART OF DJ-ING

    Read the Room. Shape the Energy.

    Develop the skills and mindset of a professional DJ. From beatmatching and phrasing to track selection and crowd psychology, this course focuses on building coherent sets and performing with confidence across genres and contexts.

    TURNTABLISM

    Turntables into instruments.

    MIXING & MASTERING

    SYNTHESIS & SAMPLING

    Design Your Own Sound.

    hybrid intelligence

    Augment the Process. Protect the Art.

  • instrumental music production

    Write With Real Instruments.

    Learn to build tracks around live instrumentation instead of presets alone — recording, arranging and producing with guitars, keys, and other instruments as the backbone of a mix. For musicians who want their playing, not just their software, driving the sound.

  • performing with ableton live

    Take Your Set Live.

    Learn to run Ableton Live as a performance instrument: triggering clips, building live sets, and improvising on stage with the same tool you produce in. Built for DJs and producers ready to move from studio to stage.

    Learn to run Resolume for live visual performance — VJ-ing, video mapping, and syncing projected visuals to music in real time. For anyone who wants to pair a live set with a live show.

  • comfyui

    AI Image-Making, Node by Node.

    A hands-on introduction to ComfyUI’s node-based workflow for AI image generation, for artists who want fine-grained creative control over cover art, promo visuals, and generative imagery rather than a black-box tool.
