THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF ARTIST...

DISEMPOWERED ARTISTS

DISEMPOWERED ARTISTS

 Repeatedly start projects and leave them unfinished. Because of this they have little to show for the (often huge amount of) time and energy they put into their music.

  Rely on copying other artists and following trends because they don't have a sound of their own. Because of this they struggle to truly connect with people through their music.

 Operate from a state of scattered and lethargic existential panic about how to pursue their dreams. Because of this they have no direction and are often disappointed and disenfranchised.

 Are intimidated by social media and marketing themselves. They do little to let people know they exist. Because of this they struggle to grow their fanbases. ​

 Just want to get a break. Because of this, they are desperate and attract experiences that rob them of their creative energy, leaving them questioning whether they should quit.

 Operate as lone wolves and are starved of healthy community to inspire and support them. Because of this they feel lonely on their creative journeys.

EMPOWERED ARTISTS

EMPOWERED 
ARTISTS

✔ Regularly finish and release the music they make. Thus, they have an extensive collection of finished works that document their lives over time.

✔ Truly communicate who they are through their music. Thus, they develop a deeply connected following around, and adoration for, who they truly are as creators.

✔ Are disciplined and diligent in the pursuit of their dreams. They know where they want to go and have a plan for how to get there. Thus, they are the writers of their own stories and take full responsibility for their lives.

✔ Know who they are and are unafraid to share themselves authentically. Thus, they attract fans who connect with them on the deepest level.

✔ Create the circumstances necessary to capitalise on opportunity. Thus, they get to pick the projects that enliven them and help them do what they love to do on a larger scale.

✔ Have a dedicated support network of likeminded artists and creators. Thus, they feel secure and know that they are not alone as they move forward.

THE PROBLEM

Most aspiring artists focus solely on acquiring technical knowhow, unconsciously treating music as an intellectual exercise rather than a soulful art form.

They binge-watch tutorials, stock-piling knowledge as they seek the perfect piece of information before they can truly get started. They can't help but buy whatever shiny new piece of gear an ad promises to give them a fleeting feeling of inspiration.  

When they're not being "consumers", they are being mere “producers”; robotic technicians who copy others and follow trends but struggle to create original and meaningful music themselves.

Instead of empowered artists,
they become disempowered "content creators".

You see, while some amount of technical skills are necessary to produce quality music, they alone don’t create art that has the power to truly move people. 

Empowered artists - the kind capable of deeply affecting listeners and creating real change in the world - know that their power does not come from filling the mind with techniques, but from using one's heart to amplify their passion and emotions. 

Great art is not forcibly made. It appears - as if by magic - when you allow your heart to guide your creative process.

This is the only way technique can be used
to create something extraordinary.

DO YOU DESIRE TO...

✔ Stand out with a sound that is unmistakably yours?

✔ Tell stories with your music that deeply move your listeners?

✔ Regularly finish and release your tracks with ease?

✔ Overcome perfectionism and embrace artistic exploration?

✔ Feel confident in taking decisive action on your creative goals?

✔ Navigate the music industry with clarity and integrity?

✔ Be part of an inspiring community of supportive artists?

YET DESPITE YOUR DESIRES, YOU...

✘ Struggle to make music that stands out?

✘ Feel your music lacks narrative and emotional depth?

✘ Can’t seem to finish tracks - even the ones you're excited by?

✘ Are overly critical and get caught up in self-judgement?

✘ Get lost in the technical side of production?

✘ Feel isolated and unsupported on your creative journey?

"This course gave me real clarity around how to approach drums, mixing and mastering and starting new projects without overthinking every small decision. TÂCHES is hilarious and his ability to relate to his students with funny anecdotes made each lesson a joy. Before this course, I found excuses not to make music because "I wasn't inspired." Now, I feel empowered to create inspiration for myself. I am so thankful for every minute spent with TÂCHES"

★★★★★

Dylan Brooks

"What a brilliant course! It really helped me have less judgement around my music and taught me to unify myself more with the process. I really harmonise with TÂCHES' unique way of connecting with music in an organic, ritualistic kind of way. It was great receiving feedback from TÂCHES but I also really loved getting input from the other students. Being part of a course together and learning as a community is just amazing. It really helped me level up and I'm much more able to enjoy making music and have become much less afraid to share it with others."
