Kicking the Open House off will be the in-depth studio tour, followed by a Q&A session where you can raise any questions you may have about studying at Point Blank. This will be followed by an Ableton Live Deconstruction led by Lead Course Developer Ski Oakenfull. These sessions are always popular and this time Ski is pulling out all the stops by bringing his Ableton expertise to the iconic ‘Sign o’ the Times’ by Prince. Ski has previously broken down tracks from the likes of Kraftwerk, Moderat, Caribou, Disclosure and many more, but this one looks to be truly unmissable.
