Music producer, DJ, and classical violinist, Jayeson Andel better known in the electronic dance music scene as Cobalt Infusion, spends most of his time working with sound. A graduate from The Art Institute of Vancouver’s Electronic Music program and over 15 years of violin training, he brings insight from school as well industry experience by working with record labels, playing live gigs, and collaborating with amazing talent over the years.
… In this program you will learn how to intelligently create sounds from the ground up using the most basic form of synthesis. Successfully understanding subtractive synthesis will allow you to get the sound you want without having to scroll through presets until you arrive on a sound that’s “close enough”. This is what will set you apart from being a consumer to a producer of sounds.

I would like to use the opportunity of thanking you for your professional instruction I have continually enjoyed going to your site. I am looking forward to the commencement of my university research and the general planning would never have been complete without coming to this site.
