THE ROLAND SYNTH STORY...


Roland Synth Story
Roland Synth Story tourRoland has come a long way since its inception in 1972. Its synths, drum machines and effects have been used on some of the most famous records ever and have helped artists push sonic boundaries, creating new sounds and even radical new musical genres.
Taking part over three dates in November, the Roland Synth Story tour will explore this rich history through a roster of artists and experts. It’s an exciting opportunity for visitors to learn more about Roland synths, speak to three musical icons and even get their hands on some classic Roland vintage gear.
The panel of experts, including Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree and Japan), Graham Massey (808 State) and Jody Wisternoff (Way Out West) will all talk about their experiences creating electronic music as well as discussing their favourite Roland synths. They’ll also be on hand to answer questions and chat to visitors after the event.
Dates:
  • 26 Nov. – The Roland Music Academy, Walsall College, Walsall
  • 28 Nov. – The Roland Music Academy, Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College (SOLD OUT - register for standby)
  • 29 Nov. – St Pauls Concert Hall, Huddersfield University, Huddersfield
Spaces are limited and demand is high (two tickets per person), so please book early (there will be a standby list, should any of the events be fully booked). Doors will open at 7pm for each of the venues.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
