Signal Sounds Synth Club | May 2025

Synth Club is our new interactive social event! It sees you collaborate with fellow synth aficionados to make music to a brief against the clock.

It’s inspired by activity community groups like running clubs and time-limited creative contests like the 48 Hour Film Project.

Once everyone has arrived, you’ll be organised into teams of four.

Each team will pick four prompts at random. These prompts could be a genre, a BPM, a style of playing, or just about anything that you could consider as a creative jumping-off point.

You and your newly formed team will then have 60 minutes to make a piece of music lasting between 30 seconds and three minutes that uses at least one of the prompts from your card.

At the end of the 60 minutes, we’ll have a ‘show and tell’ of all the music created.

All you really need to bring is yourself; we want Synth Club to be open to everyone, and as such equipment can be provided.

With that said, we'd ask all participants to bring their own headphones.

If you own a synth, we’d also encourage you to bring it along; 60 minutes isn’t a lot of time to write music and familiarise yourself with a synth you haven’t used before! If you are bringing your own synth, please also bring its power supply and the necessary cable to connect to a mixer (we use the Zoom L6 which has 1/4" inputs).

Space is a limiting factor for us here, so if you plan to bring a synth then the smaller the better; and please nothing bigger than a coffee-table book!

Finally, make sure you join our Discord server to stay in the loop about all things Synth Club!
