Analog Sequencer Workshop - Philly, June 8th

[mosc]

Calendar Event: June 8, 2008

---

On Sunday 8 June 2008 at 7:00pm The Gatherings Concert
Series will present a workshop on the workings of the Analogue
Sequencer. This workshop will focus on the capabilities of the
well-known Moog 960 Sequencer Module and is open to anyone
interested in learning more about the concepts upon which this
hardware is based.

The Analogue Sequencer Workshop at The Gatherings will be
headed by veteran synthesist and electro-music.com member,
Terry Furber, a leading talent in the
field of home synthesizer design as well as in music
performance with his Spacemusic duo Orbital Decay.
Demonstrating on an array of gear, which includes two
Synthesizers.com q960 Sequential Controller modules and a
vintage refurbished Moog 1P modular synthesizer, Furber will
discuss the history, technology, equipment and basic concepts
involved in using an Analogue Sequencer and the realization of
music.

Attendees will have an opportunity to observe close-up the
workings of a sequencer and synthesizer, hear how patterns are
created, modified and turned into music and learn how these
means might be used in their own creative endeavors. Whether
you are a beginner, a music fan or have advanced knowledge,
you will come away from this workshop with a better
understanding of the sequencer, the people who use them and
with deeper insight into and better appreciation of the many
genres of music inspired by the sequencer.

If you have ever listened to contemporary electronic music and
become curious about how the sequencer functions and is used
in the creation process, or are interested in making your own
music with such a device, then this workshop is for you!
