NOISECOLLECTIVE Modular Synth Masterclass Workshop with Gino Robair


NOISECOLLECTIVE is having a modular synth masterclass workshop with Gino Robair. The event will be held at the Mothership club in Turin Italy. You can pick up tickets at NOISECOLLECTIVE here. The following are the details on the event, first in Italian, then English further below.

IL WORKSHOP
Il workshop prenderà in esame una serie di tecniche da utilizzare durante l'improvvisazione con sintetizzatori modulari in un contesto di gruppo e pone le basi per un concerto la sera stessa, con i partecipanti al workshop.

Il workshop si concentrerà sulla sensibilizzazione e l'ascolto globale durante l' improvvisazione, esplorerà strategie di patching per ottenere la massima varietà ed evitare la stagnazione.

Verranno presi in esame concetti come primo piano / sottofondo, solista / supporto, controllo gestuale, e intenzione / non-intenzione.

Particolare interessante per i musicisti che utilizzano sintetizzatori modulari perché spesso la tentazione con lo strumento è quello di sovrapporre semplicemente suoni.

Gino utilizza strategie, concetti e spunti basati sul suo lavoro e sul lavoro di John Zorn, Butch Morris, ROVA Sax Quartet, Anthony Braxton e Frank Zappa.

I partecipanti devono portare un loro strumento. Possono utilizzare qualsiasi synth analogico, anche se il workshop è prevalentemente incentrato sui sintetizzatori modulari.

NOTA
● Il workshop ha una durata di tre ore al termine del quale, gli studenti eseguiranno un concerto diretto dal maestro Robair.
● Durante il workshop verrà prodotto materiale audio e video che sarà poi pubblicato sui nostri canali.
● Il numero massimo di partecipanti per sessione è limitato a 12 musicisti.
● Ogni musicista deve avere il proprio strumento musicale, cavi elettrici, prolunghe elettriche, cavi audio lunghi (almeno 5 metri).

THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will examine a number of techniques to use when improvising with modular synthesizers within a large group and it lays the groundwork for a concert the same evening, with the workshop participants.

The workshop will focus on global awareness and listening during an improvisation, while exploring patching strategies for achieving maximum variety and avoiding stagnation. We will also discuss concepts such as foreground/background, solo/support, gestural control, and intention/non-intention.

This would be particularly interesting for modular synth users because the temptation with the instrument is to simply layer sounds. Actively patching, and utilizing concepts such as disruption vs. support can be very helpful for sparking ideas about new ways to approach electronics in an group-improv situation.

Gino uses strategies, concepts, and hand cues (conduction) based on his own work, as well as the work of John Zorn, Butch Morris, ROVA Sax Quartet, Anthony Braxton and Frank Zappa.

Gino has done these workshops throughout North America and Europe, usually as a way to stage his improvised opera. And it works very well with a group of synthesizer players.

Participants would bring their own instrument. They can use any analog synth, although modulars will often be the focus.

NOTE
● The workshop has a duration of three hours at the end of which, students will perform a concert directed by maestro Robair.
● During the workshop we produce audio and video material that will later be published on our channels.
● The maximum number of participants per session is limited to 12 musicians.
● Every musician should have its own musical instrument (preferably a modular synths or other analog synths), power cables, electrical extension cords, long audio cables (at least 5 meters).
