Paris workshop (probing for interest)

The Lounge Social/Event
#1

Hi there.

There has been a thread on Audiofanzine last month, showing some interest for a workshop in Paris, France. Many people having Octatrack (or other Elektron gear) who can’t figure out how to use their equipment for various reasons.

It wouldn’t be stupid imho to put everyone in the same room for an afternoon and share our knowledge about the Swedish magic…

  • Saturday or Sunday afternoon
  • Some place with a soundsystem we can use (I have some idea but suggestions are welcome)
  • Someone asks about something they want to know and hopefully someone else more experienced can help, then someone else asks for something and so on.
  • Obligatory live jam at the end

Anyone interested?

Hey.

Not very into Elektron-only-setUps but I might be in.

Instruments “booths” may be interesting. That would allow to have the MDists talking together without bothering the OTists or MnMists. Ideally, small PAs would be great.
…or maybe several events are better, in order to necessitate less hardware. Depending on the place…

Just thinking out loud.

Are you Paiheu?

#3

Yep that’s me.

Booths or separate desks for each machine/interest would be good but will have to be soundproofed from each other. It will require several rooms… can be done, will just be a little more restrictive for the venue.

We could have one first “generic” event to gauge interest. If there is a lot of demand, other events can emerge from it organically.

#4

I could be interested, even if I’m from Switzerland (that’s not so far away with TGV)

#5

Yep. I’m interested too.
I already made a few tutorials on youtube for A4 and Octatrack.
(https://www.youtube.com/user/dakitanmonkey/videos)
I would be glad to share and learn from other peoples.

#6

would enjoy attending (A4 MD (MnM maybe) ) … coming from Berlin, I really would have to be on a tight budget, but if the language is NOT french and not octatrack based , I would seriously consider it.

#7

You deserve a pat on the back. Really nice videos here and the use of text comments is perfect.

#8

Thank you. Making tutorial is not an easy thing to do. I chose text comments on the videos instead of speech because you can make a pause on the video and still have the texte displayed… and you cannot with a voice :slight_smile: . Also because i’m not a native english speaking, and i would make too many language mistakes.

So i will be happy to meet people in real life to share my knowledges and learn some new tricks, speaking english or french.

#9

Let’s see if this gain interest. If it doesn’t we can have beers and debate Roland Vs Korg.

#10

Up.
Are we making an event in Paris one day ?

#11

Hey Guy,

Elektraunauts of Paris here to exchange tips and knowledge about our machines and can be a beer?

#12

Hello

Are there any small gatherings/workshops that occur on a regular basis (weekly ideally) where synth heads can meet? I’m looking for something in Paris but any clues/ideas about where to look would be great.

Thanks

I

Hi elektronauts

Anyone in the Paris Area that is interested in synching and jamming with their elektron or other gear?

Sometimes we use to heat up more about missed features, music gears than making and sharing music and happiness.
I’ve some gear and i can do some noises, sometimes basic, sometimes not so good but sometimes i feel happy with that.

Hope you like the idea
