Rough Trade East In-store - SYNTHESIZER DAY WITH SCHNEIDERSBUERO & WOLFGANG SEIDEL

"NO WRISTBAND NEEDED, JUST COME DOWN ON THE DAY/NIGHT

SchneidersBuero will celebrate a Synthesizers Day at Rough Trade East in London. There will be several workshops on tools and instruments all over the shop just for one day - apart from usual activities around their glass cabin, aka the testsalon. Moving through RTE will be a new adventure for the audience. All installations will be in sync with each other giving you beats and atmosphere all over the shop from a live performance, differing on where you are and what just happens.

At the front of the shop, HerrSchneider himself will moderate a workshop on several modular systems that will generate an experimental atmosphere of sounds and beats. You are welcome to join him. In other corners of the shop there will be fresh UK based manufacturers of electronic devices playing and presenting their own products in time: Steve Jones, director of Cronic will be playing on his VXXY and The Alphasphere, a controller for beats and performance will be presented by its inventor Adam.

The testsalon itself will, as always, be filled up with modular and desktop synth gear to play and will be performed by several clients and users over the day. Onur Oezer from Istanbul, T.Raumschmiere from Berlin and other artists are asked to come, still t.b.c. The very best moments can be heard over the shops audio system as they are performed live and visible from the cabin.

And as the highlight of the day and the usual daily rough trade instore live act, we are very much looking forward to a performance by Wolfgang Seidel a.k.a. Sequenza and the partner of Conrad Schnitzler (R.I.P) both headliners of the Krautrock era. Wolfgang has also been a headliner of this years Transmediale Berlin and is usually playing jams with old friends or tape concerts in memorial to his dear friend Conrad Schnitzler."
