Lonely life in Modular Land.

[Blairio]

perhaps there are other ways to introduce a social side to modular synthesis, but not necessarily with other wigglers.

For instance, are there any local amateur film makers looking for an electronic sound track to their film? Or installation artists looking for an interesting self-generating soundscape to enhance their creation?

Or maybe a guitar based band looking for some electronic edginess? Roxy Music springs to mind as a good example.

I guess my point is that it is not just other wigglers you can collaborate with....

That's a great point.
Most of the people that I am involved with don't use modular, but we have similar influences and focus of enquiry.

out here in Phoenix I think there’s people into modular but few. I don’t really know of any place around that has anything of the sort. I think I would have to take the trip to L.A. or Vegas to even find a shop or a community of people with similar interests. So here we are

Search the "events" section below.

There was of course nothing when I lived there a decade ago, but I've been surprised at how many meetups have popped up in years since. Maybe some are still going.

Anyone else share my same dilemma? Maybe I should start a local group or something.

there's a new modular shop in south florida. not sure where you are but they do meet ups and synth jams.

also the store is in a record shop and is related to this venue

they do these open jams

the record store is called Techniques and recently moved. the synth shop is inside the record store.

the synth shop is called "Wish You Were Gear".. they had an opening back in october.

880 NE 79th Street, Miami, Florida 33138

Cool! I'll have to check this out! I don't live in Miami, but I'm also not too far either! Thanks for posting!

@Raleigh, I live in Naples. How close are you?

I am heavily into modular for 5 years. There are some groups near my locality, but their ages are much much younger. Fortunately a place called MW exists for lonely modular souls.

I think interest in the music you make should help you meet people not the instruments you use.

No way! I’m in south Florida and new to modular, just finished my first rack. I was gonna make a post that I can’t find anything in south Florida for modular stuff. I figured with Miami being into electronic music there has to be some sort of modular crowd.

Who’s in south Florida?

I’m in the boca raton area...

Hi Deadxringerxdrone

Fellow Phoenician wiggler here. There's actually a decent community for electronic music and modular right here in town. There is an event that happens (usually the last Saturday of every month) called Operation Noise Toaster. Look it up on FB. I've played at the event 3 times now. It's kinda an open jam format that happens at a church in downtown PHX. Not all modular, but very experimental electronic/noise/soundscape. It's a cool event, and you can meet other lots of other synth heads there.

There is nowhere so lonely as Des Moines, Iowa when it comes to synthesizers.

Phoenix Synth Fest is happening next month... Steve Roach concert on Friday the 7th, meet-up/demos/etc. on the 8th.

I think interest in the music you make should help you meet people not the instruments you use.

Agreed, but I've found it's usually modular musicians that seem to identify with their tools rather than their tunes

Strange concept... I would hate to peek underneath their sheets at night.
