My mini jam at last month’s Sonic Frontiers Jam Sessions. Cranking a small system with a techno vibe. @noiseeng Tymp Legio taking the lead
Our last jam session of the spring is Thursday night 5/14 starting at 7 PM at Brentwood Arts Exchange. Would be awesome to hang - so come out with any instrument and jam
Check @dcmodularsociety page for details
@xenon_chameleon shirt rep!
Thank you @saxmachine1234 for the vid 🫡
Calling all DMV musicians! This Thursday 5/14 will be our last @dcmodularsociety Sonic Frontiers Jam Session in our spring series at @brentwoodarts inside the @gatewayartscenter
The final theme for the season will be a discussion on looping, different perspectives on what constitutes an actual “loop,” and different ways to implement and/or improve upon your use loops!
***As always, all instruments welcome! Any folks wanting to bring electro-acoustic instruments (or vocals) are able to still be connected to the mixer set-up and/or can also be processed through some of our modular systems to create a whole new world of sound from your instrument you may have never been able to make before!***
Following the discussion, we will have some guided jams/prompts to practice some of the discussed concepts.
FREE entry for anyone bringing an instrument to participate in the jam and $20 entry to Brentwood for anyone coming to just attend the seminar, listen in, and peruse the gallery.
Be sure to also check out Brentwood Art Exchange’s awesome new artist installations as well as art available in their local artist/maker market!
Great space, great opportunity, great vibes, and we hope to see you there! 🙌

Modular is a mindset, and all are welcome! 🤓🤗

It’s also a great time to come with specific modular questions or potential problems you may be bumping into, and we are happy to try and help! 🤗
Our first hour or so will be set-up and modular mingling.
We will be kicking off our demos with some patch presentations from last Sunday’s Neptune performers, so folks can see how the cable spaghetti is made!
After that, we will have an open call for anyone who may be interested in doing a short show/tell of their current patch, work in progress, etc.
It should be an afternoon of good folks, vibes, resources, and community, and we hope to see y’all there! 🙌🎛️🎚️🙌

We’re partnering with Brentwood Arts Exchange this Thursday at 7 PM for a free film screening of “I Dream of Wires.” The film traces the evolution of the modular synthesizer and its modern resurgence.
Established musicians such as Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Gary Numan, Morton Subotnick, Carl Craig and John Foxx show off their systems and explain why they opt to use this volatile but ultimately rewarding technology.
If you’ve heard about it and have wanted to check it out, watch it with our DC community!
Happy to announce our April @dcmodularsociety showcase at @neptuneroomdc will be Sunday, 4/19.
This month will be another techno focused showcase, so get ready for some head-bopping and hip-shaking sets! 🪩😎
Doors at 7pm, Show at 8pm, FREE
Our techno titans for the night will be:
Ri Caragol (@ritec )
Copacaballa (@__copacaballa___ )
pareid:0lia (@pareid0lia.dmv )
We will also have Wetsoul (@wetsoulmusic ) providing us with the entrancing eye candy for the evening!
As always, we look forward to a night of good music, good folks, and good vibes, and we hope to see y’all there! 🙌🎛️💜
