The synthesizer is an instrument with a long history that has played an important role in popular and experimental music from the late 1960s onwards. The Synthesizer Research Network (SyReN) will initiate dialogue and collaborations between musicians, academic researchers, non-academic scholars, software and hardware engineers, composers, and other expert groups. These different communities share a common interest in the history, design, or musical practice of synthesizers. SyReN aims to provide an organised route for exchange of knowledge between these groups to explore how we can expand our understanding of how synthesizers are used by musicians (both past and present) and potentially use that knowledge to inform the design of future instruments.
SYNTHposium is a hybrid (in-person and online) event. Please register to be notified of the online link and for in-person attendance. Refreshments will be provided during the day for ticket holders.
