Live Modular Techniques

Performing live with a Modular Synthesizer may seem daunting. We will focus on refining your artistic vision and discuss how to progress beyond concepts to fully formed sets.

We will explore different performance styles, genres and approaches to developing the stage aesthetic that you want to cultivate. Attention will be given to module selection and case layout, as well as improvisation techniques, boundaries and safety nets.
