The video series was put together by Ableton Certified Trainer Alec Ness. I got to know Alec about two years ago in California, as we were put through the ropes by Ableton to become Certified Trainers. I can tell you that Alec is the real deal. I learned a lot working with him and later found myself a fan of his music. Working under his name, as well as Su Na, Alec has a great sense of rhythm, texture, and vibe. Here's a track of his I really enjoy. Notice that almost every comment laments the song's brevity!
