Clockwork Voltage, two round robins & Mono Scarves: COMMUNITY, PATCHES & JAM

Mentors

Clockwork Voltage meetings connect the Slovenian community united by enthusiasm for modular synthesizers with a beautiful number of creators active in various fields of art. The name of the community is an anagram of the title of the film by director Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange. “Clock” is one of the basic elements of composing with modular synthesis, driving the change of output voltages.

The purpose of the community is primarily to promote live concerts. It fills the gap of live performances, which require extensive experience and knowledge for successful live execution. The breadth of the community is also represented by the first compilation, Happy Little Voltages, which aims to promote domestic production and features 17 local musicians. The release offers a listening marathon and insight into current production with modular synthesizers, showcasing a wide spectrum of expression.

In addition to Eurorack modules, the community also uses other formats like Buchla, Ciant-Lombarde, and a very wide range of DIY analog instruments and vintage sound synthesizers.
