Semorphonic Orchestra – call for performers

Do you have an old analogue synth stashed away in the loft (or taking pride
of place in your studio)? We are looking for performers for this unique world
premiere event. The Semorphonic Orchestra will be made up from a large group
of musicians playing analogue synthesizers scattered about the space where
the Sonic Picnic is taking place on Sunday 24th June. Groups of musicians will
communicate via semaphore signals (the origins of coded data transmission),
playing a piece specially devised by composers Duncan Chapman and Mike
McInerney of Devon-based ensemble Analogorak. Performers will be expected to bring
their own synthesizers (which will need to be capable of being battery
powered, either using internal batteries or 12v/240v inverter) and attend 2 x 1
hour rehearsals during the EXPO weekend before the grand premiere on the Sunday.
No previous experience of signaling with flags is necessary.
