The 11th San Francisco Electronic Music Festival will be happening today through Saturday and I plan to be there for at least the performances tonight and Saturday. Once again, I will be live-tweeting and readers can follow on Twitter @catsynth or via the #SFEMF tag. So those not in the Bay Area can follow along vicariously – though I encourage local electronic-music enthusiasts to attend in person.
The performance tonight includes a collaboration of Alessandro Cortini, whose videos and images we have been featuring here on over the past coulee of months, with Don Buchla. Also performing are another synthesis pioneer John Chowning, and Ben Bracken. You can see the full schedule for the event here.
CatSynth pic: Luna and EM-Tronic
From rarebeasts on flickr:
“Can’t get a camera out without luna turning up.
The EM-Tronic is a small hand held synth that makes a large range of electronic noises.”
You can see the EM-Tronic in action in this video:
Quite a variety of sounds in such a small box.
