..(M.I.M’s) use of technology was really interesting and their approach could be applied to workshops with people of varying abilities and experience. I would highly recommend their workshop if you are interested in cutting edge music technology and creativity.

M.I.M Story
Matty and Jarman have been performing together for over 14 years and delivering workshops for over eight years in Australia and Europe. M.I.M’s journey began by wanting to perform electronic music live without giving up their preferred instruments (guitar, bass and drums). They also didn’t want to be constrained by fixed tempo or a backing track.
M.I.M obtained valuable mentoring from Belgian live electronic music pioneers and developers Herrmutt Lobby in 2013. This set them on a path of software customisation using Ableton Live, Max for Live programming and eventually live video controllerism using Resolume.
MIM’s presentation at the Ableton User Group in Melbourne, was an energetic and head-spinning performance meets lecture on how they seamlessly integrate music and technology
