At AVA London 2025, the UK’s leading festival celebrating music, visual art, and innovation, pointblank Music School delivered one of the event’s standout sessions. Among the day’s highlights was a live deconstruction by our Head of Education and Curriculum, Ski Oakenfull, who guided the audience through Underworld’s euphoric classic ‘Two Months Off’. Using Ableton Live and Push, he carefully unpacked the track layer by layer – from drums and synths to effects and arrangement, revealing the techniques that give it lasting impact. More than just a tutorial, the deconstruction embodied pointblank’s hands-on, practical approach to music education, offering aspiring producers and music lovers a rare look inside the craft of professional production.
If Ski’s deconstruction inspired you to produce music, apply to our BA (Hons) Music Production & Sound Engineering degree. It is designed to help you build a powerful and versatile skillset and help you thrive in the music business. With modules like ‘Production Styles’ and ‘Creative Production & Remix’, you’ll learn how to deconstruct popular tracks, analyse what makes them work, and apply those insights to your own music. Throughout the course, you’ll receive expert guidance and feedback from our active professionals and have exclusive access to our partnership offers. Whether you’re aiming to become a producer, engineer, or artist, this hands-on, immersive course is your first step toward a music career.
