Originally Recorded in 2013
Hailed by 800,000 YouTube viewers as “The Godfather of Controllerism”, Moldover returns to Pyramind for an interactive music production and controllerism workshop using Ableton Live and custom effects and controllers. Moldover gives an extensive rundown of his self-created setup including a controller-modded guitar, microphone effects box and his signature MOJO controller, and demonstrates how he integrates these tools into his live performances running everything through Ableton. He also offers his personal insights into the philosophy of being a performing artist and the challenges and sacrifices that entails.
Part Two:
Moldover takes a look into the creation of the ‘Robocaster’ electric guitar/controller and his desire to do away with the guitar effects pedal convention- many common and useful effects are now mapped to controls right on his guitar and are fully customizable through plug-ins in Ableton. He shows a similar approach to his mic effects box prototype which is connected as an extension of the MOJO. Additional Max for Live patches allow for custom integration in then software.
