Join us for a beginner friendly dive into the Buchla Paradigm with synthesis legend Todd Barton

We will explore three Tiptop Buchla modules:
259t Complex Waveform Generator
281t Quad Function Generator
292t Quad LoPass Gate.

We will deep dive into the multi functionality of these modules and create lots of diverse tones, textures, and soundscapes using only this minimal setup of three modules.

This artist presentation is open to all; no specific experience needed!

- Instructor Bio -
Todd Barton is obsessed with sound…continually exploring new sonic universes and sharing his discoveries from the worlds of analog modular instruments: especially Buchla, Serge and Hordijk. After decades composing music for theater, radio, orchestras, string quartets and film he has devoted the past eight years to sculpting electrons with solo performances on the Buchla Music Easel both here in the States and throughout Europe. He also teaches, guides and consults through his Skype/FaceTime/Zoom tutoring. His recent solo album, Below This Time Does Not Exist is available on his Bandcamp, and his studio album, Spaces was released by Flag Day Recordings.

Follow the sound; Feel the electrons; Listen!
