about

I have been playing a VCS3 during my studies at the university of Bangor (Wales, UK) between 2000 and 2004. That VCS3 (The Putney) was actually found forgotten in storage, nobody knew how to make sound with it at the time. I did some minor repairs, gave it new life, and put it central place in the electroacoustic studio. No wonder, I fell in love with the EMS synth vibe and workflow, the sound and huge range of the oscillators, the filter, the envelope shaper, and everything else. Using the joystick I could transform between very different sounds in a single gesture, so I would regularly use it to facilitate transitions between sound objects with totally different sonic as well as symbolic characteristics, within electroacoustic music pieces and improvisation sessions.
I knew there was a Synthi100 in Athens, at the Contemporary Music Research Center, but for various reasons I never got around playing with it. Finally, just before the lockdown, I had the opportunity to work with it for a couple of weeks. I set up the synth for live drone-glitch-noise improvisation, and recorded many hours of material. Synthi100_Grainscape was made from these recordings
