Based in Toulouse, France, Les Siestes Électroniques hosts concerts, workshops, and club nights focusing on emerging and established electronic musicians and digital artists. Last Fall, Les Siestes Électroniques sent a delegation to Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, to conduct workshops with local musicians. Co-sponsored by Ableton, this delegation taught courses in Ableton Live, both for production and performance.
