-Workshop Description-
While the modular synthesizer offers endless possibilities for exploring sound, developing and sustaining a live performance can be daunting. In this session we’ll talk about strategies for developing a cohesive musical form that can be used in a variety of performance situations.

The free workshop will be followed by an intermission and then a paid (sliding scale) ticketed quadraphonic performance. See below for more info and a link to the performance's dedicated event page where you can purchase tickets.
