Music Production Training with Bitwig Studio

Learn the “How,” Master the “Why”
My journey into electronic music started with a teenage fascination for synthesizers like the Yamaha AN1X and the distinctive Vermona DRM drum machine. I wasn’t only drawn to the sounds — I wanted to understand how they were created.
That curiosity led me to a PhD in physics, designing my own analog circuits, and producing music professionally. For me, music production and science are deeply connected: both are about shaping energy, manipulating waveforms, and building systems that evoke emotion.
Too many courses focus on which buttons to push. I focus on why you push them.
As a Certified Bitwig Studio Trainer, I’ll guide you through Bitwig’s creative potential — but more importantly, I’ll help you “look under the hood” and connect the technical with the artistic, turning understanding into effortless creative expression.
“My goal is to demystify sound. When you understand the ‘why’ — why a compressor adds punch, why an EQ creates space — the ‘how’ becomes intuitive. You stop following rules and start making your own.” — Oliver Gretz (Okmog), PhD, Certified Bitwig Trainer
