Santa Cruz Synth Cooperative: Electronic Music Open Mic
A sign-up based Open Mic night for electronic musicians
A sign-up based Open Mic night for anyone involved in making electronic music, whatever the style, genre or format - anything from ambient and drone through synth pop, techno to industrial, noise and beyond!
The intent is to showcase live performances of music that is primarily electronic in nature - e.g. acts using hardware or software synthesizers, electronic instruments, sequencers and so forth. The definition is pretty broad - ask us if you’re not sure your act is a fit.

Sliding Scale | FREE for UCSC students
NowhereLab and Indexical present a hands-on workshop with interdisciplinary artist Alan S. Tofighi. For the workshop participants will construct their own AST PEAR Enclosed Anomalous Inference Receiver, a random number generator based on the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory Random Event Generator. The theory and practice on the history of random number generation in Art, science, divination and zones where these histories meet will be explored as well as its practical implications.
The workshop will consist of a brief introduction to soldering, circuit assembly, as well as coding, all levels of skill and experience welcome.

Alan S. Tofighi will perform the composition Psychic Hold/Tychic Drift III: Memory Cone & Phantasms of the Living Room for PEAR REG, alpha wave, electronics, and home appliances. Throughout the piece events, musical, electronic, and mechanical will be activated and made visible by the otherwise invisible synchronization between the performer and the random event generator. Modular synths, motors, acoustical phenomena of the space, and other resonances will be performed throughout the space and work. The events will be connected and chained to a series of Logic systems revealing and subverting their own network for a telematic improvisation on spectres and the spectral.

New York-based artist Nina Sobell presents GammaTime in collaboration with Ed Bear, a real-time participatory brainwave drawing performance. GammaTime aims to create a foundation for understanding and experiencing gamma brain waves as well as other brain waves through art and music. By engaging with the installation, participants will not only gain insights into their own brain wave activity and each others, but also experience the potential cognitive and emotional benefits of 40 Hz gamma stimulation. The project seeks to inspire, educate and provide a platform for creative exploration, ultimately contributing to the broader discourse on the intersection of art and neuroscience.
