Some pics of Vicmod Ensemble's recent performance at Melbourne Music Week, Sunday, November 13, in the Melbourne State Library. 350 Melbournians were in attendance. The event focused on electronic music, with Severed Heads performing the following night. Ross Healy of Vicmod did a talk during the day on modular synth history and Vicmod, while the Vicmod crew did demos allowing the general public to play with eurorack modular systems. It looks like it was a great event.
