Loop At Home 2020 began with a welcome video from the Ableton team and proceeded with the first daily challenge: Gizmophone. Gizmophone is about building a one-off musical instrument from makeshit materials in your home. Then record a performance and share it with the world. Ableton offers plenty of inspiration for building your Gizmophone and three official channels on social media (Metapop, Facebook, Twitter) to share your creations in.
Sebastian Muallert went live at 7 PM CEST, giving a performance and explaining his unique workflow.
