ROB HORDIJK draws on decades of experience with synthesizers to design his own. At
Basic Electricity #15 on Friday, 10th April, we’re honoured to host Rob for a hands-on demonstration of patching with
his modular system. He says he’s not a gear freak and that mastering technique is more important than the tools used. His original analogue instrument designs, like the
Blippoo Box, are praised by musicians for being intuitive to use and sounding great.
Later we’ll hear some of those musicians play their Hordijk synthesizers:
SAM WEAVER is one half of London outfit Hungryghost and runs
Open-Circuit in Manchester. He has recently recorded and performed with Charles Hayward, Gnod and performed along side Kevin Drumm. At
Basic Electricity #15, Sam will improvise on a Hordijk modular system - expect clusters of harmonious and discordant sine waves, static and feedback.
SUM 0.2 is an interactive sonic game emphasising play as a structural factor in music. For
Basic Electricity #15 NIKOLAS LEFORT and HANNES HOELZL will challenge each other on the SUM controller - self-designed and developed by Nicolas in collaboration with Jonas Hummel - together with Rob Hordijk's modular system.
You can see SUM 0.2 in action at LEAP in
this video from
3DMIN.
Can one improvise with computers and electronics in lively, expressive, complex ways, change directions instantly, and communicate within a common flow?
TRIO BRACHIALE like to think: yes! They have bred their soft- and hardware to allow the spontaneity known to traditional instrumentalists. Prepare to be surprised!
