Mark Burnett
- Leipzig Germany
Based in Leipzig, Mark offers personal support for producers and performers working in Live. That means focused one-to-one sessions online and in person, hands-on help building live and DJ setups, and group workshops for schools, studios and events, in English or German. Since 2022 he has hosted over 200 producer events in Leipzig, in which participants finished around 1,500 one-minute tracks. The events now run online.
Mark meets students where they are, from a first session in Live to refining a professional workflow. His teaching centres on sound design, arrangement, mixing and performance, with a constant focus on finishing music and building a fast, personal way of working. He has mentored at Orbit DJ Retreats, created courses for MusicGurus and Noiselab, and given workshops for Ableton.
Alongside teaching, Mark is co-founder and creative director of Future Fabrik, a Leipzig studio for 3D capture, interactive media and AI-driven production. Before that he spent 14 years leading the community-owned Workhouse Project in Wales and its award-winning festival. That breadth, from club booth to festival site to studio, shapes how he helps artists turn ideas into music they can perform.
