Laura Escudé
Laura Escudé is a producer and sound artist creating magic through music, tech, and consciousness. She is an innovator, entrepreneur, and live show designer with a deep understanding of complex technology and a profound passion for music and art. Fusing tech with art is her superpower.
Synthesizing her skills as a classically trained violinist and technical prowess as an avant-garde electronic producer, Escudé infuses Neo-classical and sleek futuristic style with raw emotion elicited with her musical machines. She has performed her live electronic show at numerous festivals and events, including Osheaga, Ondalinda, and NAMM. Using technology to advance their fields, Escudé and two other female pioneers are key artists featured on Hello Sunshine + HPE’s documentary “In Her Element”.
Since becoming the first Ableton Certified Trainer back in 2008, Laura’s career highlights include designing shows for Kanye West and Jay Z, opening for Miguel on his 2015 Wildheart tour, building a thriving international business populated by top-tier professionals, and developing premier educational programs accessed around the globe.
After a tour burnout landed Laura in the hospital back in 2016, she was forced to take a break from work and focus on her health. This physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual process involved letting go of unproductive habits and thought patterns, facing her fears, and giving up aspects of her life that no longer served her. The experience inspired Laura to help artists accelerate their live performances using technology, while securing a safe place that encourages their own health and well-being.

Bundle FAQ
What gear and software will I need for this course bundle?
How experienced do I have to be?
You will need to have intermediate knowledge of Ableton Live and audio concepts in order to get the most out of this bundle.
Are any of the courses in this bundle live?
Both courses in the bundle are available on-demand and can be completed at your own pace!
Does this bundle come with the EC Playback Template?
No. However, the MASTERTRACK Bundle does come with a more basic, starter playback template (still created by EC!)
Do I get one-on-one time with Laura, AJ, or Greg?
No. Please refer to the FAQ on our homepage for more info.
Why do I see "MASTERTRACK WORLDWIDE" or "TRANSMUTE" branding inside the courses/course resources?
Some of these videos and course resources are from our previous Transmute Accelerator (an 8-week intensive) and MASTERTRACK WORLDWIDE programs. We have distilled the knowledge from these programs into smaller courses so we can get you the performance intel you need, when you want it, at your own pace.
Join us in Los Angeles, CA for a two-day training event that condenses our years of experience working with the biggest artists into two days of
session breakdowns, rig walkthroughs, and more!
