Module Synthesis

Module Synthesis invites artists and listeners into an active contemplative space where atmosphere, texture, and tone take precedence over rhythm and spectacle. Emphasising downtempo work, the afternoon will let ambient sounds collide with other grammars of music making, in a generative process bigger than the sum of its parts. 

Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) is a movement that began in Manchester in 2017. Its tools are eclectic: laptops and modular synths sit comfortably alongside drum machines, samplers, fx pedals, loopers, and analogue oddities. What matters is not the method of production, but the desire to participate in a process as it unfolds, with all the risk, exposure, and unpredictability that entails.

Given the often solitary nature of electronic music production (in comparison with the musical ensemble which dominates most other forms), this event reintroduces a much needed externality into this practice. More than a series of performances, EMOM is a forum for musical dialogue: a place to share sounds, ideas, tools, and techniques in a vigorous, experimental environment. 

The confirmed line-up includes PsiWave, Special Effect Department, Verre Ravine, RJ, and Resounded.

The event is organised with Charles Lambert and Stefano Parrella of EMOM Roehampton.
