Synthfest@Maker Faire 2011 / March 12-13 2011

"The Centre for Life in Newcastle (http://www.life.org.uk) is hosting the Maker Faire in 2011. Maker Faire,
which takes place over the weekend of March 12-13, is an event created by
Make Magazine to celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and
the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset.

In the past, there have been one or two projects involving electronic music
and synth DIY though they've been few and far between. However, next year's
event will have a very strong synth DIY flavour and Saturday 12th March has
been designated "SynthFest Day". We're now recruiting artists and companies
who would like to get involved.

Contributors are invited to bring along DIY instruments for the public to
see and use. We're also looking at setting up a performance area so that
artists can either perform a small concert or participate in a collaborative
jam.

My understanding is that contributors don't pay to hire space and they are
able to sell merchandise i.e. instruments, CD, DVDs etc.

The event should be a terrific showcase and, with the backing of Life, the
promotional opportunities should be superb. If successful, there is the
possibility that this could become an annual event.

We'd love to have you involved so please register your interest at :
www.MakerFaireUK.com

The deadline for applications is 26th November 2010.

Best regards
Synth Builder"

"Making something that is close(r) to musik using three Roland TB-303, one Roland TR-606 and EFX.

Disclaimer: I do realize that you could make something much better just using one TB-303. So can I but that's not the idea behind this recording.

Korg iMS-20 on iPad: "All Analog"

YouTube via ArtemiyPavlov | November 16, 2010

"First experiment with Korg iMS-20: a really fun synthesizer that has a lot of punch and, most importantly, quite a unique character. It sounds and feels great, one of the best experiences I have ever had with software."

"Self Control" - on Yamaha HE-8

YouTube via organfairy | November 16, 2010

"Maybe this didn't come out exactly as I had imagined. I honestly thought it would be a bit more gracefull. But maybe a white poncho just isn't really me.
I kinda look like an obese fallen angel...

Anyway, the music is played on Yamaha HE-8 organ with Roland CR-1000 drum machine and JX-8P synthesizer."

"a little noise reduction for a better audition, but first of all, watching the changing of the waveforms is interesting to see!"
