The Second-Saturday Synthfests at Stage 33 Live celebrate synthesizer performance, circuit-bending, and sound manipulation on Saturday, January 11 and Saturday, February 8 at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Gear Q&A / meet-and-greet at 6:00, then five 20-minute performances at 7:00.

Players will be in the center of the room, with the audience in the round and encouraged to roam throughout the show. The performances are expected to range from cinematic and lush to computeresque and urgent to tuneful and poppy. It will get loud.

Session 1 performers on January 11 are Haitlin with Daisy F., Pro-Grammar, St. Silva, Trevor Robinson, and Uku Meri.

Session 2 performers on February 8 include Architrave, Burial Woods, Cameron.wav, Makamqore, and Metamyther.

Suggested $10 donation in advance or at the door per event, all proceeds benefit the performers. No one will be turned away for lack of money. Advance donations through stage33live.com guarantee entry if the session sells out. The performances will be recorded and filmed; audience members may incidentally end up on camera in the background.
