Live-Act, Performance & Hardware
Playing live in front of an audience is the primary discipline of every artist. Only live do you get direct and immediate feedback on the art you’ve been working for all these years. It is worth more than any fee in the world, a release or an online gig.
In this coaching we go through your tracks with you that you want to perform live. We’ll fit you with hardware, controllers and software that make the most sense for you and work in harmony with each other. We’ll explore why it’s better to use balanced than unbalanced cables and why a DI box can save your ass.
Although each live act is unique, there is a basic understanding and logic that is the same for everyone. What looks simple can take weeks or even months of hard work and planning. Only if you are prepared, you will be confident and deliver a great gig.
We also cover topics like tour planning, backstage requirements, contracts and everything you need to know about live act/management.

Soma Synth Lyra-8
Welcome to the world of sounds of LYRA-8, the unique organismic analogue synthesizer developed by Vlad Kreimer. “Organismal” means that LYRA uses some principles that are at the base of living organisms.
The way LYRA’s modules interact with each other and the behaviour of the instrument resembles a live conversation. LYRA-8 is based on eight generators, hereafter referred to as voices. They are not built like a traditional VCO of subtractive synthesis. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependence on the control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the name “voices” instead of “VCOs”.
Sounds from beyond!
