TÂCHES PRESENTS
HOUSE MUSIC MASTERY
Unlock the secrets of house music production in this comprehensive 12-week Ableton course
4 September - 25 November 2024 | Mondays & Wednesday 6-8PM UTC
SIGN UPTHE PURSUIT OF MASTERY
Pursuing mastery is not for the faint of heart. It requires an unwavering commitment and a relentless drive to push beyond the boundaries of what is comfortable and known. It is a journey fraught with challenges; demanding patience, discipline, and a deep-seated passion for your craft.
Mastery is for those who are not content with mediocrity and who aspire to reach the pinnacle of their potential, transforming their art into something extraordinary. It is a path for the dedicated few who are willing to embrace both the rigors of disciplined practice and the boundless exploration of creative expression. This pursuit demands a balance of analytical precision and intuitive flow, leading to the profound and continuous transformation of one's abilities and artistic vision.
House Music Mastery has been meticulously designed to propel you towards the pinnacle of your potential. Each module is structured to challenge and refine your skills, ensuring that you don't just learn, but master the craft of house music production. This journey will equip you with the expertise and confidence to transform your artistic vision into extraordinary music for the rest of your life. As you advance through the course, you'll discover how each element contributes to your overall mastery, setting the stage for deeper exploration and growth as an artist.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BALANCE
There is a harmonious balance of left and right-brained thinking that breeds the master artist. To express ourselves to the fullest, we must nurture a relationship with both halves of our being.
Too much feeling, and your art lacks direction.
Too much logic, and your art lacks depth.
On the one hand, it is the free exploration of our flowing expressivity that we use to widen our scope and deepen the penetrative and resonatory nature of our art. By exercising the intuitive and wilder parts of our processes, we align our voices with our souls as artists - a necessary step on the path to our most authentic expression.
On the other hand, discipline and structure are the methods we use to sharpen our blades. These allow us to become fast and efficient, working effectively and precisely. It is your duty as an artist pursuing mastery to become as exact and nimble as you possibly can, in order to best serve your art.
Throughout this course, you will learn how to nurture both halves of your being. By balancing structured, disciplined practice with free, intuitive exploration, you'll develop the technical precision and creative depth necessary for true mastery. The curriculum ensures you grow not just as a producer, but as an artist capable of expressing your most authentic self. Through a blend of analytical techniques and creative exercises, you'll learn to harness the full spectrum of your abilities, achieving a harmonious blend of thinking and feeling in your music making.
THE MAIN HURDLE OF EXPRESSION
In order to become a House Music Master, developing competence is the most important obstacle you must overcome. Competence is the key to your progression from unawareness to mastery. Throughout your journey, it will evolve through four distinct stages. Each stage represents a deeper level of understanding and skill, starting with unconscious incompetence, where one is unaware of their limitations, and ending at unconscious competence, where expertise flows effortlessly. This pyramid illustrates the progression and growth necessary to achieve mastery. Embracing each stage with dedication and openness is essential for any artist striving to refine their craft and express their unique voice.

WHO IS TÂCHES?
Shirtless and shoeless, TÂCHES sits cross-legged in the dirt gently taking in his mountain surroundings. It’s clear that he’s deep in thought as he mindfully traces the shape of a fallen leaf in his hand and a slight smile gently spreads across his face. There’s a tangible feeling of love and fascination communicated through the way he looks at the world around him and it’s precisely this holistic approach to creativity that makes him such a captivating artist. This is the makeup of a being that finds passion and inspiration anywhere he looks.
Contradictorily, he is as much a devotee to tradition as he is a breaker of rules. TÂCHES is uninterested in following trends to appear relevant, and instead seeks to provoke the senses through a deeply personal examination of world cultures. Conceptual without ever being pretentious, his music shows a deep rooted appreciation for the textures of the times passed and faraway places. There’s a certain urgency to capture the world as he perceives it; albeit a world seen through the rose tinted lenses of a creature forever romantically entangled with his surroundings.

There is no one way to sum up TÂCHES’s music, as it’s perpetually in growth, bending and swaying like a tree in the wind. This sonic metamorphosis is due to a primal need to experiment coupled with a deep longing to express the continually transforming experience of being human. Drawing heavily from emotion and memory, there’s a clear sense of nostalgia in all that he creates. His pure and unabashed desire to combine the things that he loves manifests itself as rich and evocative music with massive personality and palpable global flavours.
His desire to build upon the world in which his music exists led to the creation of his label GLITTER COWBOY - the peculiar home for the sonic documentation of his journey. When you listen to GLITTER COWBOY, you are nakedly experiencing life through the eyes of TÂCHES as he seeks to embody self-awareness and optimism, along with finding inner peace through nature, artistic expression and simplicity of living.
During the unexpected events of 2020, TÂCHES found himself isolated in the English countryside. Each day, as a means to maintain his sanity, he would retreat to the heart of the nearby woods, where he had trained a camera upon a desk he set up amidst the trees. There, he began to document his philosophy on the nature of creativity and the importance of musical expression. It was in these tranquil, sylvan surroundings that he first discovered a deep passion for sharing the knowledge and wisdom he had accumulated over the years. The videos he recorded went on to inspire many thousands of creatives across the globe. By popular demand, he began to formally coach those that sought his counsel as a mentor. The profound connection he felt with his students ignited a passion path. Since then, he has had the privilege of witnessing the transformative journeys of over one hundred musicians whom he has guided through the intricacies of mastering their art form.
