SYNTHSTART is a 7-class short course designed for beginner-level participants who are relatively new to synthesis and music production, including those who have little to no experience with hardware synthesisers. This is a fun and supportive way to begin your electronic sound journey, you’ll have the opportunity to use MESS’s extensive collection of unique instruments and the guidance and support of a small course group.

In weeks 1 to 6, the course covers subtractive synthesis, creating new sounds, controlling hardware synths with software, effects, mixing basics, and moving into live performance. In the final week, participants will present a sounds or a short composition created during the course to the class in an informal listening session.

In addition to the course, participants will also have the opportunity to book 1 self-directed studio session at MESS each class week (7 sessions each during the course).
