Craig Anderton has worked on chart-topping productions, toured the US and Europe, played at Carnegie Hall, and given hugely popular seminars (in 38 states, 10 countries, and 3 languages). He’s written over 50 books on technology and the arts, and over 1,000 articles for Sound on Sound, Guitar Player, inSync, The MIDI Association, Mix, CraigAnderton.org, and several international publications. He co-founded Electronic Musician magazine, started the first rich media web destination for musicians in 1995 on AOL, and has also consulted for leading companies like Steinberg, Ableton, Roland, Waves, Acoustica, IK Multimedia, Microsoft, Gibson, Peavey, Alesis, ASI Audio, Sensaphonics, Akai Professional, PreSonus, Native Instruments, Cakewalk, Avid, and more. The masterclasses distill his decades of experience into an enjoyable, engaging, and often surprising educational experience.

We are thrilled to bring Craig Anderton to Asheville to present two masterclasses to our local music and technology community. Craig is deeply respected as a luminary in his field, and is an icon to those who have been inspired by his body of work over the past several decades. We are fortunate to host someone of such distinction.
