The day will see Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra take over the adjoining Colyer Fergusson Hall, while Laurie Black’s ‘Deadly Synths’ theatre show will take attendees on a journey of the synthesiser in popular music.
Attendees are invited to begin with an Electronic Sound Bath and emerge refreshed and ready for a day of performances, live hardware sets, collaborative drone pieces, film, live visuals, workshops and theatre. These include a ‘Build your own synth’ workshop hosted by Clacktronics, a Communal Drone and a Late Night EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic).
