In this video, Los Angeles-based producer and controllerist Yeuda Ben-Atar aka Side Brain stopped by Dubspot NYC to explain and demonstrate how he utilizes a 1980s Nintendo video game system controller with Ableton Live. Originally released in 1989, the Power Glove is a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System that made history by being the first peripheral interface controller to recreate human hand movements on a television or computer screen in real time.
Yeuda grew up playing keyboards and guitars in the 90s, but as an avid gamer, he has always searched for ways to incorporate his love of video games with his music. In this interview, Yeuda talks about his influences and inspirations, controller designs, the similarities between video games and digital audio workstations (DAWs), and mapping the Power Glove to control Ableton Live using Max for Live. Yeuda also explains his approach to using the computer as a musical instrument, and how he enjoys developing a unique voice and presentation within the crowded world of modern electronic music.

About This Program
At Dubspot our world-class instructors provide the most complete and cutting-edge Ableton Live learning experience. The Ableton Live Producer Certificate Program is the flagship of our music training.

This program is about learning Ableton Live by going through the entire process of being an artist, by developing your own sound through a series of sketches and experimentation. You will also learn the ins and outs of this powerful software through a series of exercises designed to help you master the steps involved in producing your own music. After a level of getting familiar with the tools that Ableton has to offer, you will then develop your sonic ideas into full-length tracks. You will be exposed to a variety of approaches to arrangement and composition, storytelling techniques, ways of creating tension and drama in your music.
