SUPERBOOTH18 Details & Schedule

"SUPERBOOTH18 at FEZ Berlin - 03-05 May 2018 - Trade Fair for Electronic Musical Instruments. The latest developments in (modular) synthesizers, keyboards, effects, studio equipment and software.

Almost 250 exhibitors from all over the world, 22 concerts and Gesprächskonzerte daily, panel discussion, workshops and much more.

It starts at 11:30 am with the spacious boat shuttle starting at Jannowitzbrücke and a trip through the eastern part of the German capital. Arrived at the FEZ Berlin the visitors can enjoy daily at 1 pm the first concert of the still young day program on the Seaside stage, or they can attend one of the beginner workshops on modular synthesizers, one exclusively for women and non -binary persons, and one open to everyone. Gammon, together with a school class, develops a performance for the Modular Synthesizer Ensemble, presented daily at 1:30 pm. Afterwards, at 2 pm, the promotional stage program begins with concerts by Caterina Barbieri on a modern Eurorack modular system and Leon Michener on a prepared grand piano. Altogether there are 11 concerts of this kind daily, on Friday for example with Bernd Kistenmacher on classical synthesizers, as well as Udo Hanten on a 5U modular system. On Saturday, among others, there will be the Gesprächskonzert of Nonlinear Labs with Stephan Schmitt and the C 15 keyboard. Parallel to this, DIY workshops, specialist workshops from the participating educational institutions and the entertainment program of the other exhibitors will take place throughout the day. So it makes sense to come to SUPERBOOTH18 for more than one day, to also watch the concert of Carolina Eyck on the Theremin or Tobi Neumann and Fadi with an ambient performance.

For people who like to sleep a little longer the boat shuttle is available at 2:30 pm or 5:30 pm. Thus one reaches the FEZ Berlin on time for the evening program and for spending some time on the exhibition before the evening program begins at 7 pm. Here #instantboner, T.Raumschmiere & FucketYbUcKetY, Ströme and Tikiman shake hands. With the low -priced ticket for the evening hours you can also see Boys Noiz with 2244, ATEQ, GusGus and many others. Max Loderbauer, who was on the SUPERBOOTH17 stage last year together with Ricardo Villalobos, will play together with Tobias Freund as NSI this year.

Those who like it a bit quieter will be pleased about the film screening of The Potential of Noise, a documentary about the legendary music producer and studio operator Conny Plank. The film is commented and explained by the initiator of the film, the son of the protagonist. On all three evenings there will also be discussions with guests such as Daniel Miller, Uwe Schmidt and Mark Ernestus. Some aspects of The Potential Of Noise will also be addressed here. During Thursday's SOOPERtalk Lady Starlight, Andrew Huang, Lady Blacktronika and Mylar Melodies will discuss the fascinating interaction between humans and machines in the creative context of music making.

The return trips of the boat shuttle at 8:30 pm and 12:00 am take the guests directly to the landing place at the Jannowitzbrücke in Berlin Mitte, from there it is not far to the official after-show location C-Base. The after-show program will be announced at short notice.

More details and additions to the three-day program can be found on the official website. You can also keep up to date by subscribing to the newsletter on superbooth.com.

Matt Traum EVI - “Overjoyed”

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Patchman Music

"Matt Traum (from Patchman Music) plays his vintage Steinerphone EVI (handmade by EVI / EWI inventor Nyle Steiner) that Matt personally customized. The very rare EVI is one of the very first EVIs of this body shape ever made by Steiner as he was working on an all-MIDI version of this instrument with this body design (which later became known as the "MIDI EVI"). But this EVI is not a MIDI type EVI. The electronics in it are 100% analog taken from an older 'Steinerphone' type EVI and transplanted by Steiner into this body. This EVI is plugged into the hand built Steinerphone "suitcase" synth made by Nyle Steiner (the yellow panel device you see in the lower right of the frame). This synth was made famous and was used extensively in recordings by Michael Brecker (including his epic 'In A Sentimental Mood' recording).

This is a great composition by the immensely talented Stevie Wonder. I feel this is one of his finest and most clever compositions with quite a sophisticated chord structure, melody, and lyrics.

DIY analog synth project (Steiner Parker Type VCF Version 2 Demo 1 7mins Acid Test)

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Adamski A.

"Here is the first in my short sound test demos, showcasing my Steiner Parker "type" voltage controlled filter which is a combination of ken stone and yves usson's designs. I replaced the diode string with npn transistors to see if I could put a nice twist on this very well known circuit, also the capacitors have under gone some experimentation.
Please leave your thoughts and comments ,either positive or negative on the sound I hope you guys can chip in and give this circuit a go.
I definitely see some potential for a eurorack module on this , so if anyone is intrested in helping develop this circuit further feel free to message me."

"This is a 4-voice analog synthesizer with 24 built-in programs. It has a powerful sound and has many knobs and levers that allow you to change the quality of the voices as you are playing it.

I had a lot of fun using it in the 1990s, when I played it in an indie rock band for a couple of years. It worked great for reproducing some of the sounds heard in songs by The Who and other 1980s bands. When the sound of the band changed, I put the keyboard in storage, and it has been there ever since. I just took it out this year (2018), and found that all the presets and filters are in good working order, and it still makes that delicious analog sound.

It has not been serviced since I have owned it.

It is in good working condition except for one thing: when the pitch bender is bent up, it lands on a note that is higher than the original note played. However, when the pitch bender is bent back down, it lands on the correct note."
