Clan Analogue presents Institute of Sound - Analogue Synthesizers in the Modern Studio


Monday, 25th August 2008

Venue: Horse Bazaar, 397 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne

Time: 7pm

Electronic arts collective Clan Analogue launch Institute of Sound, a new series of monthly electronic music production workshops, on Monday the 25th of August, 7pm, at Horse Bazaar, 397 Little Lonsdale St in the city.

Each month a new guest presenter will examine a particular aspect of electronic music performance and production, including live demonstrations and a Q&A session. This will be followed with a live performance along with an opportunity for members of the audience to take part in hands-on jamming. A projection system overseen by video artist Jonty Burton will ensure that all audience members get a close-up look at the work of each month’s presenter throughout the session.

This month, on Monday the 25th of August at 7pm, electronic music producer and live performer Ehsan Gelsi (Bubble'n'Squeak/Smash Bang Records) will present Analogue Synthesizers in the Modern Studio. Although computers have taken over many aspects of modern music production, electronic musicians are still often drawn to analogue synthesizers for a warmer sound and more interactive means of sound creation. This workshop will examine the role of analogue synthesizers in the modern computer-based music environment, including both studio and live applications. As well as old-school analogue synths, the workshop will also consider the place of digital and virtual synthesizers based on the analogue model.

Entry to the workshop is free.

The Institute of Sound will continue on the last Monday of each month. Upcoming sessions later this year are:

29th of September: Visuals, Mashing and VJ Practise – Jonty Burton, Mr Pike & Jean Poole
27th of October: Techniques & Technologies from Electronic Music History – Robert Boehm & Jeremy Smith (Winduptoys)
24th of November: Audio Mastering – Martin Koszolko (Koshowko)

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body
