"You’ve never seen the Enmore Theatre like this – Sydney Fringe Festival EventElectro aficionados & vintage synth geeks get a taste of the real thing, live without a laptop in sight.
Long time collectors of analogue equipment Steve Jones and Ryan Spinoglio have teamed up with Carolyn Shine to re-create some of electronic music’s classics under the moniker ‘Studio Serpentine’ on stage at the Enmore Theatre on September 11 2010.
Some of electronic music’s most innovative scores like Vangelis’ Blade Runner and Delia Derbyshire’s Dr Who theme will oscillate between electro-pop classics like Fade to Grey by Visage and Studio Serpentine’s own music.
Priceless pieces of analogue studio heaven will be assembled to showcase the trio’s beloved equipment and give the audience an opportunity to experience electronica history live.
Yamaha CS-80, Prophet 5s, Jupiter 8s, PPG Wave 2, Space echos, and practically the entire back catalogue of Roland drum machines, a vintage Korg Vocoder and the legendary MS-20 will be stacked up with a couple of ARP Odyssey MKIIs, a Space Modular and a Theremin among other things. If that all sounds like another language - it kinda is.
This is a rare opportunity to experience the evolving language of electronic music from its classic origins.
Steve Jones is a prominent recording engineer and keyboard programmer who has worked on many platinum award-winning albums in Australia. He has worked as a keyboard technician for touring artists Kylie Minogue, INXS and Burt Bacharach and is by all regards, a certified synth geek.
Ryan Spinoglio is a musician and avid vintage synth collector, bordering on compulsive. His tracks, under alias, have been released through Ear Pimp and Clan Analogue and you can find him at http://www.myspace.com/electrofetish
