Der/Die/Das neue Verbos Multistage 16 ist ein ausgewachsener Sequenzer und auch für mein eher altmodisches Setup als Erweiterung und Komplettierung hoch interessant. Ich schau es mir mal an und gehe am Donnerstag zum Workshop in SchneidersLaden. Sich ein Gerät live vom Hersteller bei einem Kaltgetränk in netter Athmosphäre erklären zu lassen, ist eine schöne Gelegenheit und geht besser ins Gehirn als jedes (online-)Tutorial.
.. that polybrute noir keyboard synth with an onboard sequencer and whatever else is not the only thing on sale inside SchneidersLaden currently. Please feel free to step in and also say hello to me in our wonderful APOTHEKE at the corner Ganghofer Str. / Richardstr. not far away from „Musik-Bading„.
Bevor ich am Wochenende zweimal meine Skills auf einer alten X-Base09 präsentieren darf, finden in SchneidersLaden und in SchneidersKeller diverse Workshops statt: Wegen der Machina Bristonica (in Bristol UK) kommen diverse Hersteller nach Europa und erklären ihre Neuigkeiten vorab in unserem Schauraum Berlin und im ..

Anno 2000 zog er als „Rhythmusmaschinenverkäufer“ für SchneidersBuero mit „Musterkoffer“ auf einem Handwagen durch Vernissagen, Parties, Bars oder den Tiergarten. Der Spaß am Gerät wurde Geschäft und die Zeit wurde eng. Nach 20 Jahren Pause ist der Koffer wieder da, das gleiche Gerät liefert erfrischend verstaubten minimal Techno, Experimentelles, Athmosphäre und Geräusche aus Strom.
Schon mit sechzehn spielte HerrSchneider einen Moog Prodigy Synthesizer in der Band und im Studio. Er konnte nicht ahnen, dass das seinen Lebensweg beeinflussen könnte. Mit dreißig des Übens an den Tasten müde zog es ihn nach Berlin, er entdeckte elektronische Musik und den Synthesizer – NEU! Mit sechzig ist die live gespielte Performance der Versuch einer Symbiose alter Elektronik mit noch altmodischeren Klängen einer Orgel.

A short update on our planning for SB25: For those who haven’t heard from us in a while, yes, we are still here, and as always at this time of year, we’re in the intensive phase of planning and are very busy, trying to work out all the big and small challenges and surprises a venue like the FEZ surprises us with. But the situation looks quite good and everything is coming together well, and in 7.5 weeks, it all begins again at FEZ—Berlin.
One thing we can confirm already: all the familiar areas and rooms at the FEZ will be available and part of the event, including the Orbitall space center, which was last integrated in 2019. The @inagrm Institute is confirmed as an exhibitor in this room.
According to the current plan, the outdoor areas—including the toads, audiovisual tent @499reality, with Acidbooth, the @korg_berlin space and radio next to a installation by @seufz234 —will be accessible until 9 PM, with late-night events continuing at the Waldkater next door, as last year, but this time with more preparation time since we know about the toads in advance. Not to forget, @bobeats YouTuber meetup in the wood on Saturday again.
The pro audio area has been further developed, and there will be workshops, presentations and masterclasses, along with DIY activities and, of course, a full concert program across several stages. We’ll share more detailed information on the concerts at the beginning of April. Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to the single topics, exhibitors and various areas. Expect to see many familiar faces among our loyal regular exhibitors, as well as exciting new inventors, especially from the Eurorack community.
Raffle Deadline:
All ticket numbers purchased before 31.3.25 will be entered into the draw. If you want to participate, you still have exactly two weeks from today to decide about whether you‘ll join us in May. More on that with the next post.
We’re looking forward to three great days with all of you.
Is there something you missed last year or anything specific you would wish for?
On March 20. we are once again hosting an exciting workshop! This time with a special guest: qetu.
qetu has been exploring the Eurorack world for three years now with a focus on sound research, generative patches and creative misuse of modules. This led to his research of the possibilities of analog computing with Eurorack modules.
What can you expect?
qetu will bring along an analog computing-centric Eurorack case and a real analog computer (“The Analog Thing”). The talk and live patching will be about:
The workshop is free and without registration – just come along, watch, ask questions or patch along! 🚀🎚
Let’s move on to the next round of workshops, this month with two specials at SchneidersLaden!
We are starting as usual with two Modular Beginner Workshops. Here you can take your first steps into the world of modular synthesizers or refresh your existing knowledge. No previous knowledge is required, the workshops are free and we have a full fridge with drinks – so there are no more excuses. Come along!
Modular Beginner Workshop: March 6 & 13 – 7pm – Free of charge
On March 20th we have a guest who built an analog computer out of Eurorack modules just because he knew how! We really wanted to find out more about this – and you can join us! Come along and experience how to compute with a small analog modular system! We’re really up for it!
Modular Computing with Eurorack: March 20 – 7 pm – Free of charge
At the end of the month we have another special – Oxi Instruments are in town and visiting us! Come by on March 27th and we’ll find out what they want to show us. We’re looking forward to meeting the makers of Oxi ONE and the modular mini-polysynth Coral!
