Workshop Student's Book by Frantic Noise (pdf)

This document began with a simple idea:

To be able to print theoretical material to offer along with the classes and personally to have sort of guide when it comes to putting together the lessons. Quickly this idea became a deep search and compilation of all the information i thought relevant to the process of producing electronic music. Because electronic music is a relatively new phenomenon, my generation has suffered quite a lack of teaching material compared to the thousands of online tutorials that we can find today on sites like YouTube.com.
