Check the organizer’s latest schedule ↗343 Labs’ Free Ableton Live Workshop and Open House: Nov. 4
A 343 Labs instructor will introduce Ableton Live by building a beat from scratch and explaining the software’s popularity with electronic music producers. The Nov. 4 session welcomes beginners and people switching from other music software. The description confirms an instructor-led demonstration, not a track-making exercise for every attendee.
A first look at Ableton Live
The workshop is intended for people starting to make electronic music, including those who have used other production software but are new to Ableton. The instructor will give an overview of producing in Ableton Live, build a beat from scratch and explain why electronic producers use the program.
That makes the announced format useful as an introduction to the software and a demonstration of one way to begin a beat. The listing does not say that participants will create their own tracks or specify equipment they should bring.

A chance to ask about the school
The open house takes place during the same event. Attendees can tour 343 Labs’ facilities, meet instructors and fellow producers, learn about courses and ask questions about the school. For someone weighing a first lesson against a longer course, that gives the visit a second practical purpose.

Blnkng Objkts’ background
The instructor, Blnkng Objkts, is described as a multidisciplinary artist and educator from Canada whose electronic production grew from a classical music background. Before relocating to New York, Blnkng Objkts spent a decade working with artists in Montréal, toured across Canada and took part in a collaborative artist residency in Iceland.
The biography also notes a developing audio/visual performance drawing on ’90s beats and hyperpop. That is context for the instructor’s practice, not a performance advertised as part of this workshop.
