Sounds expo
Went to the Sounds Expo (at Wembley Exhibition Centre) with Pete on Thursday.
It was pretty cool, went to a good talk on the fundamentals of synthesis, was familiar with most of it but picked up some good tips and learnt some jargon. Loads of sweet kit lying around and got to play with all sorts of synths, drum machines, guitar synths, etc.
All the stands were trying to out-do each other by turning their kit up to drown each other out, so the place got pretty deafening… then… silence! they had a power cut which took them about an hour to sort out! was quite funny seeing all these salesmen looking lost because none of their kit could do anything apart from look pretty! then it got a bit boring.. but they were giving out free bottles of coke so i couldn’t complain… (let’s just say I got my money’s worth…)
