Synth Library NYC (SLNYC) will lead a synthesizer activation, engaging SLNYC members and the public at large in collaborative sound generation and experimental synthesis with Ash Arder’s Whoop House. Various electronic music instruments from the library’s collection, including vintage synths, will be available for participants to manipulate and explore together. Hands-on guidance will be provided to ensure that newcomers to sound design and technology can fully participate.
This event is part of Heat Waves, our annual summer series dedicated to acoustic practices. Heat Waves 2023 brings together artists and audiences to activate and perform on and with Whoop House, a solar-powered sculpture and sound amplification hub developed by Detroit-based artist, DJ, and organizer Ash Arder.
Entry is free, and we welcome all ages and music preferences. Prior registration is recommended but not required.
