You are a magician! Kasra Just completed the Monolink Masterclass course, and loved it and wanted to thank you for teaching me new skills. Cheers Your Instructor Monolink Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture – which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he’s both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind. cloneRemoveAndMove("pml_proTestimonials", "pml_proTestimonialsLoader", "pml_proTestimonialsSection") "The Prey": Track from this Masterclass Software Requirements No additional software is required to watch the class.
