Music Artist Meetup feat. subtoll

subtoll is a Honolulu-based producer and DJ known for his genre-blending sound and collaborations with Ableton. He's also one of the organizers behind TrustMe Worldwide, the creative collective responsible for immersive live music experiences around Oʻahu, including the memorable shows at Zippy's and a furniture warehouse last year. He'll offer insight into how he develops ideas, approaches production, and transforms inspiration into finished tracks.
The Sonic Arts Assembly was honored to host its third meetup at the Capitol Modern feat. subtoll.
The Ups and Downs of the Creative Process (feat. subtoll)
subtoll, a Honolulu-based producer and DJ, started off our event with a DJ set while members were settling in and networking. He then went into his inspirational talk about his own creative process where he emphasized the power of "walking, exercise, eating, and distance." He then treated us by sharing his production techniques in Ableton and even shared a few unreleased tracks.
Pass the AUX Community Showcase was another success! Thank you to those who participated and listened to our member's tracks -- they were awesome! We had no less than a dozen participants. Here are links to some of those tracks. If you participated and would like to include your track here, please contact us.
