Seventh Wave of Electronic Music Festival comes to Birmingham

"In November of 2016 the inaugural ‘The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music’ takes place across four days and across three venues in Birmingham.

The stellar ‘live’ line-up includes highly influential ambient industrialists :zoviet*france:, revered ‘Kraut-rock’ and electronica collective Gnod, Ex-Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flur (responsible for inventing the group's electric drums used throughout the 1970s), DJ Rusty Egan of Visage fame (put simply, with-out Rusty Egan there would be no Steve Strange) and Richard Barbieri (currently of Porcupine Tree but he cut his teeth as the highly respected synth player for new wave pioneers Japan in the 1980’s).

One of the high-lights of the festival will be an all-day conference with key note speeches from Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk), Andy McCluskey (of multi-million selling synth pop exponents OMD) and DJ Rusty Egan (whose Blitz Club started the New Romantic movement).

Tickets can be purchased for individual events from both theticketsellers and Skiddle from:

Linnstrument+Prophet6 = Kenny G?

"I plugged the Linnstrument into the P6 and this is what came out!
All tremolo/vibrato (pressure/horizontal) and pitch slides are coming from finger movements on the Linnstrument."

Live Korg Volca Jam 33 : Microkorg, Korg Volca & Monotron Delay

Published on Apr 13, 2016 Todd Smith

"Korg only jam !!! In this Korg only live jam I used the Korg Monotron Delay to grab live radio waves from a local Christian radio show and use them as "samples". I used the Korg Volca Beats with tempo set to 56 while playing with my favorite stutter setting ( 3 o'clock time while slightly bringing in depth for effect ). The Korg Volca Bass is set in 3 VCO mode ( M1 ) . 2 sequences are layered for the Bass while the 3rd VCO sequence is used for the high end pitch bend synth lead. The Korg Volca Keys is used for lead synth sequence and is in Unison mode. I played with filter / detune live. The Microkorg supplies the pad and is played live.

"Rare vintage all in one analog drum, bass, string machine."

Note the demo above is linked in the auction listing however it is a different seller than Soundgas and was likely included just for reference - it is likely not the same unit.
