July 3 and 7: Workshops at Silent Barn
July 8: Gavin Russom at Le Baron
"Control Voltage Fair is New York City’s annual fair dedicated to celebrating the modular synthesizer. Spanning multiple days, we invite synth makers and distributors to share their creations, inviting audiences to see, hear, touch, and talk about the modular synth. This fair is complemented by concerts and three synth-making workshops.
Introduced in the 1960s, the modular synth has recently experienced a rebirth due to its affordability and sonic flexibility, which makes it a revolutionary tool for creativity. Control Voltage is an open forum inviting person-to-person interaction between maker, musician, and attendee – novices and enthusiasts. Interact with artists and tinkerers, share ideas, and explore the ins and outs of this limitless instrument!
The fair will take place on July 6th, 2013 at South Street Seaport, and will feature the interactive fair followed by a concert with Richard Devine, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and Antenes. Workshops involving building voltage-controlled instruments will take place throughout the month at Silent Barn. We're wrapping up the series with a party at Le Baron Chinatown with Gavin Russom.
Saturday's participating exhibitors include (tbc): 4ms, Casper Electronics, Control, Knas, Main Drag, Make Noise, Malekko, Meme Antenna, Pittsburgh Modular, ProModular, Skychord, Snazzy FX, Steady State Fate, Tip Top Audio
Ed Bear, Pete Edwards, Daniel Fishkin, and G. Lucas Crane will conduct the workshops at Silent Barn on July 3 and 7. Full Descriptions can be found at http://controlvoltagefair.com/sunday/.
Control Voltage Fair is presented by Abby Echiverri, with special thanks to Control and Danny Taylor.
Control Voltage Fair: Saturday is presented in partnership with Harvestworks and River To River Festival.
