Martin,
I thoroughly enjoyed your creativity, innovative use of controllerism and sampling, and your bird eye view of the Ableton set. For all these reasons, I am awarding you 100% A+ for your final project.
My advice moving forward from here is to research and invest in all the vocal processing effects you can get your hands on! For one quick easy investment, maybe the Voice Live would be a good weapon of choice. I sense that your niche is in vocals with electronics, and the more you practice the more unstoppable you will become.
Best,
- Ben Cantil
