About Ivan

Hello! My name is Ivan. I'm an electronic music producer, DJ, and software engineer. I have been making music in Ableton Live for 12 years, I play out as a DJ with the name V91.

The records that shaped me are experimental electronic music, IDM, like Bjork, Aphex Twin, Crystal Castles, Arca, and the modern techno and house scene.

I hold a B.S. in Information Systems, with strong work in programming, computational mathematics, and systems modeling, and I have spent 12 years as a software engineer. That is the view I bring into the studio: how sound, electronics, software, and instruments fit together.

I use visual simulations I built myself to explain complex theory in music production, so you can see how a sound is made and then put that understanding to work in Ableton Live.

About the lesson

I've been making music in Ableton for 12 years now, been playing as a DJ, and giving online and offline lectures. I come from an engineering background and was always attracted by the technical side of making music - this is my main focus in teaching.

Lately, I produce and play under the name V91.

I find big inspiration from experimental electronic music, IDM, modern techno, and house scene.

I try to combine lectures with practice. First, I explain basics - nature of the sound, sound electronics, music theory, software, and instruments. In explaining complex topics, I use visual simulations to make it easier to digest, so my lectures might be good for someone very much new to music in general. When practicing - we try to reproduce learned skills and knowledge in Ableton.

We work with screen share. I record the lesson and at the end of each class, you keep the recorded version. I also give you a small assignment, which is required to finish by the next class.

You can also bring a goal to your first lesson - a track that you want to make, a music style that you want to repeat - and we follow along our process to fulfill that goal.

For studying you need
- Ableton Live version 11 or higher
- Headphones
- We would also need a controller and a keyboard - but if you don't have it - it's fine - I'll help you find one.

What sets me apart as a tutor

I have been producing in Ableton Live for more than 10 years, and I release electronic music as V91. I have been DJing for five years, including gigs on Pioneer CDJ and DJM hardware, so we can work on finishing a track and playing it out.

I am also a software engineer. That background gives a more technical view of making music. I help you understand the deep technical side of production — a wide range of tools, electronic instruments, and techniques — so you can create high-quality music.

Who the lessons are for

Beginner and intermediate producers working in Ableton Live. Teens and adults. Musicians moving from an instrument into a DAW. People who want to understand how a sound is made and then finish tracks. Developers and creators who need their own audio. DJs who want to produce and perform their own material.

Before signing up to Ivan's classes, I could barely tell whether one note was higher or lower than another. Half a year later, thanks to Ivan's talent and patience with me — I am making my own beats in Ableton Live and selling them to real people. I can't believe this either. The progress has been incredible, and the lessons always felt practical, considerate, and tailored exactly to what I needed at each stage.

If you want someone who could take you from a complete beginner to confidently create real music on your own, I can't recommend Ivan enough. Thanks, buddy!
