London’s premier source for all things modular is holding their second Modular Revue tomorrow night at Autumn Street Studios. Organized in collaboration with Bloc., the heavy-hitting lineup will feature musical experiments and innovative compositions by Blawan, Untold, Defekt, and of course London Modular Alliance. Untold is a staple of the Hemlock Records crew, and self-professed modular lover Blawan was recently featured on Resident Advisor’s “Machine Love” series with musical partner Pariah.
Record store Vinyl Pimp offered what is probably the best description of how the night will go down:
“Imagine you want to send a message to a friend, nowadays you have a wide range of choices such as SMS, Twitter, Snapchat, Email, voicemail, Wassap etc. As you wish the recipient to savour this message, you take time to go to a letter press room to find the perfect font, colour/ quality of paper, arranging the metal letterings overnight by hand to form the message, making small adjustments as you go along. Finally 12 hours later you are happy to get it pressed and sticking it in the post.”
Perhaps the most exciting element of the evening is not each individual’s performance in the first half of the evening, but the synced six-way analog jam that will start at 2am. If knob-tweaking, patch-pulling, and filter-cranking are your thing, last-minute tickets are still available at RA.
