Sonic Sound Synthesis modular sessions at The Neon Hospice (6 February 2021: Thomas Dimuzio)

[DoS]

SsS is a new weekly show at The Neon Hospice online radio station.

Sonic Sound Synthesis is an outlet for the amazing sounds made by modular synthesisers.
Once a week we will present a set of audio recordings made by people around the world using these fascinating machines.

Given the bizarre and diverse array of sounds that can be produced from the synthesiser control panel, we impose no artificial stylistic limitations on the audio exhibits we present.

SsS is operated behind the scenes by late-stage synth enthusiasts Richard Fontenoy (aka Drift of Signifieds) and Edmund Davie (aka @extractor_fan).

The first session of 2021 is on Saturday 2 January and will last two hours, with full sets from Extractor Fan and Design A Wave of Alien Jams fame, with an interlude by Drift of Signifeds (me).

We hope to see you there and feel free to drop by to hang out in the lounge; future sessions will be announced weekly.

The very same - and the radio station is expanding all the time.

Will check it out. I know Tom (Design A Wave) from way back also.
Haven’t seen Mr Mugwump in years.

Jonny’s thrown himself into The Neon Hospice with a huge amount of infectious and joyful enthusiasm! It’s just the tonic needed in the era we’re living through.
