Creative Challenge Series
Episode 4: Push 3's Rhythm Generator
At the start of 2026 I sat down and asked myself what I actually wanted this year. The answer was immediate:
"No matter what, make music."
The problem?
It's a promise I'd made myself too many times and never kept. Life gets in the way, right?
So I built the Creative Challenge Series.
A structured program to help me (and you) finally change that.
Take a look at the trailer below.
Join in and come fly with me.

Read LessYou'll have 7 days to complete the challenge. Ready?
This challenge is designed to be completed in around 1-2 hours. That's doing the challenge itself plus time to watch the short videos where I share how the challenge will work. Enough to fit into an evening, let alone a weekend. You have 7 days inside this free challenge and the community to complete it.
This challenge is arguably an intermediate-level challenge. It dives straight into a new feature, but if you can already record a clip, using Session Mode, then I would suggest giving it a go. You can watch my take on the challenge to see how everything works, together with Pre-flight video to get you up to speed.
If you have a Push 3 and Live 12.3 you're good to go. The challenges come with their own Live Set / Template (Live 12.3 Intro and up) optimised for Push. The Rhythm Generator doesn't work with Push 2 or Push 1.
Access to the challenge episode, the Ableton Live / Push Micro-Playground file/template (Live 12.3 Intro and up), a full watch-along video of Andri taking on the challenge, and the community for 7 days.
Tutorials teach you things. The Creative Challenge makes you do things. Think of it as an actual workshop where you're building something. With a deadline, a theme, a ready-to-go palette of sounds, and other producers going through the same process alongside you. That difference is everything. The Creative Challenge Series isn’t about perfecting sound design, or mastering any particular piece of gear. It’s about going through the process of making and finishing music. And enjoying it!
Each Challenge has its own unique AI ready to help summarise lessons and provide answers and suggestions. The Community is also there to help - there's lots of kindness and support in there.
1 Hour. 1 Challenge. 1 Live Set. 1 Song.
