Any Elektronauts in Melbourne?

Looking for anyone in Melbourne who might wanna have a tabletop jam every now and then, maybe go to MESS for a sampling session, or even just have a beer and talk gear.

All my friends are guitarists and no one wants to talk about the new Digitakt updates with me :grin:

Another one here!

I used to maintain a list of Elektronauts who had self-identified or implied Melbourne residence with exactly this social idea in mind but child-raising demands and ADHD got in the way. All power to your efforts, though, and Iā€™ll happily participate.

Anyway, at last count (just before the local COVID lockdowns) there were 16, including me. Neither of you guys were on the list so possibly 18 now!

Thereā€™s a bunch of us for sure. Tons of Elektron users who arenā€™t here as well.

I hope Vicmod comes back at some point; that was always a pretty good meetup, even for those not in the modular game.

If anyoneā€™s keen to go to a show tomorrow night, Iā€™ll be playing some heavy/noisy stuff from nanoloop 2 and an octatrack at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury. Show starts at 5pm and Iā€™ll be on at around 8.30.

Iā€™m here!

Interested in this show in Thornbury. Is this a regular show?

Nah a one-off. Hereā€™s the poster updated with my artist name (I was unconfimed until mid-week):

Love it! Iā€™m in Japan at the omens but Iā€™ll see if I can catch a gig when I get back. Let me know your socials and Iā€™ll follow.

For sure! The gigs in the chip community are starting to pick up again, with pretty diverse lineups so itā€™s not all bleeps.

Oh Wow thatā€™s awesome, hi everyone!

I canā€™t do tonight as I picked up the spicy cough at Golden Plains last weekend. But Iā€™ll be there for the next one and am keen to get gigging again soon as well. Havenā€™t done a gig yet with just synths and no guitar, but Iā€™m nearly there I reckon.

Now that I know there are a few about, Iā€™ll definitely tee something up :slight_smile:

I do guitar + M8 sets every now and then! I played one last October at Laser Highway. It always goes down well :slight_smile:

We should gig! :slight_smile:

Sounds good, we could set up a discord or something to share ideas/set up meetups etc? Would be great to get some sort of collective going

Good idea. If anyones keen jump on https://discord.gg/BPcGVK8c

Make It Up Club is always a good time.
