Synth Jam

YSWN Huddersfield Makers host an informal skill sharing and improv synth meet-up for women and people of minority genders. Synths provided, or bring your own!

Following a successful Yorkshire Sound Women Network application to Music for All for four Behringer MS-1s, we are holding a synth meet-up for our community. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience and knowledge as this is a skills sharing event. It is a chance for complete beginners to learn some sound synthesis basics, and for more experienced synth heads to share equipment and knowledge. Everyone will have a chance to participate in a live synth improvisation. The objective being to explore and enjoy.

Meeting hosts are Eddie Dobson and Abi Bliss

For ages 16+, or 11+ with full participation of a guardian.

Saturday 10th September 2022, 1.30pm-4.00pm. Free to attend but places limited so please book in advance through Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/synth-jam-tickets-396127577247

You will need: nothing as such but you might want to bring some headphones. You're welcome to bring a synth (and cables if you have them).

Please note: As part of YSWN’s Permission to Play project this workshop is intended for an audience of women and people of minority genders – we would like to remind you to please respect this when booking.
