[ISEA2010] Workshop: Elisabeth Schimana, Gregor Ladenhauf, Dirk Reith & Florian Zwißler – Max Brand Synthesizer and Synlab

Workshop Statement

This workshop provides in-depth insights into the strategies used in analogue sound synthesis and invites you to use the Max Brand synthesizer and the Synlab Modular system. The Max Brand synthesizer is a unique instrument developed in a ten year long close collaboration between composer Max Brand and sound engineer Bob Moog since the 1950s. The one of a kind Synlab Modular system in the ICEM studio (since 1975), with its comprehensive range of modules and extremely flexible connection possibilities, is one of the most powerful analogue sound generating systems worldwide.
