modular family photo

I just got my Doepfer 9U a couple of days ago and this is what I filled it with before I had to take it all out again and try filling it again properly:

The black one on top is called Dante the larger frankensynth underneath it is called Virgil and the stuff in the foreground doesn't have a name... maybe Roland...

Hello friends.

This is an email to inform you of a special art opening and subsequent
series of events taking place in September at the Sunshine Coast Arts
Centre in Sechelt, B.C. The Sunshine Coast Arts Council is proud to
present the art of Heather Gatz during a three week residency entitled
"Groping for the points of contact." The artwork is also the
inspiration and point of entry for an ongoing video and sound
installation curated by Giorgio Magnanensi. The opening reception will
be Wednesday, September 2nd at 7 pm. Also featured throughout the
month will be a series of concerts and events featuring stunning
visuals and 5.1 surround sound. The concerts will feature a rotating
group of guests involved in particular themes each evening. The
events will range from sound workshops for children, a sound thinking
discussion and forum, video art, circuit bending, and live
improvisations. It will also signal the launch of “Laboratorio,” which
is a new Non-Profit Society based on the Sunshine Coast devoted to the
advancement and fostering of research and development in art practices
and performance. This is an ambitious presentation for all artists
involved, including the Arts Centre and its board members and staff.
Please support this group effort to bring new and challenging ideas to
our community through this inclusive, and groundbreaking event. Below
is a list of dates and events. Please feel free to forward this email.

Thank you!
