WORM is delighted to welcome Dutch Modular Fest to Rotterdam! This hugely successful and forward-looking festival normally takes place in Utrecht. This will be a day full of surprises, showcasing the incredibly and enlightening world of modular synths!
Music
DMF have created a wide-ranging music programme to enjoy. Every artist is carefully selected and presents a certain genre, or aspect of modular synth music. And we are delighted to present: Julian Edwardes, Skander Jaïbi & Ines Kooli, Chebedahja, Maj Rachel, Cinematic Laboratory, and, returning to WORM, Animistic Beliefs. You can watch the gigs in WORM’s main concert space.
Talks
The first is a masterclass: The History of Electronic Sound, led by Rikkert Achtereekte, founder of Voltmeister, a German-Dutch group passionate about modular synthesizers. https://www.voltmeister.nl/
You’ll be taken on a journey through the well-known and lesser-known figures, instruments, and techniques from the global early history of electronic music.
The masterclass consists of three parts:
• “Machines and Makers” explores the inventors who, from the late 1800s to today, have shaped the most groundbreaking musical instruments.
• “Studios and Artists” highlights the pioneering studios and artists from the early days of experimental electronic music.
• “Electronic Sound in the Netherlands” covers the emergence and early development of the electronic music practice in the Netherlands.”
The second talk is given by Biyi Amez, owner of biyiblip. He will do a presentation of a new project. Welcome back to WORM, Biyi!
