Introduction to the World of Modular Systems with Michał Wolski

How to find your way in the complex world of modular synthesizers? How to combine the various elements of a modular system in order to bring to life a musical substance full of movement and unpredictability? We will look for answers to these questions during a meeting aimed at explaining and structuring the rules governing this wild world of mysterious machines and ideas. During the workshop we will learn the basic concepts that will lead us to complex and abstract results. * The workshop will last through 60 minutes of a live-streamed presentation run by the artist from Vilnius to three other cities across Europe. A Q&A session that will follow will enable altogether 60 participants gathered for the workshop in their local venues in Porto, Oslo, Białystok, and Vilnius to interact with the artist. It will also give them a chance to experience the networked music community bridged across the continent, while remaining in their local environment. * About IMMERSIONS_ The IMMERSIONS project is a collaborative effort funded by the European Union, aimed at promoting European electronic music in cultural peripheries.
