Haha, thanks for the warning. Anyway, I like the feel of Glasgow, just seem a bit more relaxed :slight_smile:

Pro tip for Glasgow: Toilets in the train station cost 50p. But the bar has free toilets.

Also city council run museums have free toilets.

I don’t own any modular gear but I’d be up for taking part in this in some capacity. There’s a cafe in the west end of Glasgow called Fika that have a big space upstairs and sometimes host experimenta/minimal music nights, I kinda know the owner, could be a good shout if a concept coalesces?

Edit: also the hug + pint is doing free venue hire for a few dates in august, probably too short notice though

#34

Heard about Fika, never been. Happy to support any events.

#35

Well, I guess it’s time for proper Fika!
Sounds great if there’s already some directionality towards experimental stuff. Plus, I’m almost half-converted to weegianism by now…
Ok, so now we only need a lineup and date? :wink:
and for inspiration maybe a really cool workshop theme?

Hi All

I have again been offered the Folk Cafe, Nethergate, Dundee by my brothers partner for a free event

I was thinking Live Modular/Monome/MPC/909/Drum machine performances, DJ Set, Art install and food & cafeine to boot

Check google for pics, the cafe has a basement space and is licensed and we have a free reign too

I am up for suggestions and anyone interested in collaborating with a this get in touch please here.

I know its east coast but I can provide accommodation (couches)

The V and A Design Museum opens this weekend and Dundee is buzzing with worldwide attention

I need inspired so get in touch please :slight_smile:

cool! my setup is a bit of a mess right now, I’m trying to port my laptop into an embedded system, it might take a half year or so…!
otherwise, I could do a DJ set, maybe using the OP-1. do you mean this weekend for the live event as well?

#40

hey

cool, I DJ in the art bar in the westend though and always inteested in others to help there too

no not for this weekend i am afraid but soon as i get numbers :slight_smile:

#41

this weekend would’ve been too short notice :slight_smile:
well, the problem is to get the ball rolling, maybe there’s a grassroot movement lurking in dundee?
otherwise, we can just merge the “rural scene” and “norns GB” together with the scottish separatists haha

#42

Excellent! I’d be interested in doing a short monome/modular set (ambient with field recordings and maybe a vocalist) if it’s not too soon! (Swapped out a lot of modules since my last live set so would need a bit of practicing first…) Would depend a bit on the date.

#43

hi Simon,

At the moment I have no fixed date for this but its in the pipeline

Just need as many people as possible who can perform anything :slight_smile:

Excellent! I have a crazy generative teletype scene I really want to try playing out live…

#45

Hiya Marcus,
This sounds really interesting. Based in Edinburgh. I play a modular synth and could be keen to get involved.

I’ve never performed before, but all my pieces are improvised, so I’m sure I could contribute something :smiley:

#46

short update, nothing happened haha…? but a low effort/prep advice is to just show up at the regular open mic night at henry’s cellar bar mondays. doesn’t hurt with some “actual” music as well haha.
then, electronic coupe every other week(s), and have an occasional tech/hacking meeting beforehand :wink:
if there’s momentum then it’s easy to make a standalone night.

Had a spanner in the works with the venue all and apologies for delay.

I am hoping my sister in law will let this happen after the new year :slight_smile:

I have been caught up organising a drum n bass night also

I’m still hoping to have some kind of repeat of our “Wave Table” night of modular music in Edinburgh early in the new year. I’ll be sure to post here if the plan comes together!

great, have you decided in which venue? i’m dabbling a bit with ambient now as well, would be cool to make a collaborative monster session, like an all day/nighter or something :wink:

@spqr6510: do you have any plans of “live” drum n bass?

#50

No concrete plans yet (including venue - we did it at Paradise Palms first time around back in February, which was fun, but I’m not sure it’s an ideal venue for this)… will probably be a bit of a low key affair for now but maybe it can grow into something more regular? Will let you all know if it comes to anything!
