The performance is in two parts each being 15 minutes long. The soundtrack of the second part is identical to the first and only the visuals are different. Hope you enjoy the show!
Local DJ Andrew Thomas jamming out during his Summer Synth Camp class at Animato Audio. It's Andrew's first time performing live on the Eurorack modular synthesizer. Watch out for this up and coming talent!

This summer we are looking forward to bringing the joy of electronic music and visual art making to adults and children ages 5 and up.
Participants will learn about music making using the modular synthesizer. These wonderful machines are tactile, responsive and playful. Teens and children alike will enjoy interacting with expressive tools to create something unique. They will be guided by our experience instructors to create melodies, rhythms and incorporate daily found sound into a 2-3 minute musical composition. The Synthesizer Summer Camp experience is a fun way to expand sonic horizons and appreciation for music in general.
Camp attendees will also be introduced to the video synthesizer. This instrument can produce complex shapes and transform still pictures into interesting animations. Furthermore, they will be taught how to use the video synthesizer to create audio reactive visuals with their own musical composition. The participants are encouraged to bring their own digital photos as raw material for the animation.
In culmination, the music and visual creations will be synchronized together into a short audio visual piece.
This camp is a great opportunity for children to get their first exposure to electronic music and visual art. Children can play, create, express and explore art freely by taking advantage of creative technology. Through playing, we hope to inspire the musicians and visual artists of the future.

The main sequence is being driven by the Teenage Engineering OP-Z while the Elektron Digitone and Eurorack are assisting on the ambience and textures.
OP-Z is sending MIDI to Digitone and CV and Gate signals to the Eurorack gear through the oplab ZM-1 expansion module. Digitone is also sending MIDI to Eurorack via the umidi 1u module to send clock to Tempi and also trigger the second AD envelop in Maths. Arturia Minilab is sending MIDI to the OP-Z for step programming. iPhone visuals are produced by the Motion track on the OP-Z.
Make Noise Tempi is using the preset clock patterns to modulate the various inputs on the Telharmonic. Interesting effects can be produced by changing the Clock Division on the uMidi and sweeping through the Tempi presets.
List of gear used in the patch:
- Teenage Engineering OP-Z
