Superbooth Berlin 2024

Posted on May 30, 2024October 22, 2024 by The 5th Volt

Superbooth was hectic again this year, especially with our own SupAEbooth inception booth! For the first time, Robert from tangiblewaves shared the booth with Toms aka Kyaa, John aka Wonkystuff and Gregory and Zeno from BFSynths. These guys were totally rocking it as you can see in this Instagram post:

Robert showed off the new IMDI modules which bring MIDI to the modular. Check out this video:

The other guys also had a lot of new gear to present so I wrapped all of their presentations into one loooong video (use the chapter links to navigate):

After 3 really full on days we all relaxed with some pizzas and beers and talked about what went well and what could be improved in future events. This video is probably for super nerds only, but it was fun to make, so enjoy!

Superbooth 2023 – HAND Hear what you see

Posted on May 14, 2023August 6, 2023 by The 5th Volt

Sascha is a really consummate artist and his work flows between the rhythmical (he’s a drummer by trade), the ambient (he gives workshops on how to make music with tapeloops) and the visual. For his visuals he’s interested in making sound visible by using old, fluorescent oscilloscope and sending audio into them which he programs using Pd, a graphical programming language for programming sound.

Matt came prepared to Superbooth and smuggled this tiny system onto the premises. As you can see there is less than a handful of modules in there, but they pack a big punch as you will hear in this video.

In this interview at Superbooth ’23, Toms aka KYAA is presenting his new case design for the AE Modular system. Not only is it super sturdy as it’s made of aluminium, but it also features an ingenious quick swap design where you can easily plug modules in and out of the case.

Talking to HAND Tapeloop at Superbooth 2022

I had a wonderful time with Sascha, aka HAND Tapeloop in his studio which is actually right on the same grounds as Superbooth! Sascha’s perspective on making music with the AE Modular is shaped by his practice as a drummer and also from making music with tape loops.

It was great to catch up again with Felix aka The Tuesday Nightmachines at Superbooth 2022. He was instrumental when we set up the AE Modular Forum back in 2018 and he has done incredible work promoting the AE Modular systems with his videos, reviews and tutorials over the last few years.

Keurslager Kurt at Superbooth 2022

Posted on June 13, 2022June 13, 2022 by The 5th Volt

I had the joy of talking to Zeno aka Keurslager Kurt at this year’s Superbooth 2022. We were talking about how he came to love the AE Modular system, how he started developing his own modules and what his new modules are all about.

You can buy Zeno’s modules from his online Tindie Store and you can find links to his social media and bandcamp pages on the AE Wiki Artist page.
