French May Arts Festival 2023: Exploring Sounds - Synthesiser Demonstration and SharingFrench May Arts Festival

Modular synthesizers were developed as early as in the 1960s. Compared to traditional music instruments, synthesisers give musicians more control over the use of sounds, and thus wider possibility in composition.

Lately, modular synthesisers have been frequently found in the compositions and live performances of the local musician Olivier Cong. With "His Temple", his latest creation for the French May Arts Festival as a case study, Cong demonstrates and shares his approach of creating music with synthesisers, which enable him to explore unique tones, and broaden the sounds of a solo performance.
