Marissa Barbato has been a lifelong musician, growing up in a musical family playing instruments including guitar, bass, and keyboard, and writing and recording original songs since middle school. In college, Marissa began producing electronic music in Ableton, and for the past 11 years has been honing in on their own sound incorporating their musical background and developing a deep skillset in production, recording, sound design, mixing, composition, and live performance. Marissa now performs at venues and festivals across the country with their electronic music project, Entangled Mind, and has listeners across the globe.

 

As an instructor, Marissa gears lessons towards the student’s individual interests and styles, incorporating both production techniques and tools, as well as creative workflow and songwriting. Lessons are taught in Ableton but most material can be applied to any digital audio workstation.
