Making a mess at my MESS residency
Presented by Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS), and previously at Steep St ARI, the presentation focuses upon the relationships between modular synthesisers, tape based music practices circa 1950 - 1965, and improvisation or live performance. I make an argument for Modular synthesisers through their historic development, and historic and contemporary use to have more in common with a DAW or 'whole of studio as instrument' approach than they do with fixed architecture synths.
