Electronic Music In Many Genres

At Synthplex™ we are going to do our absolute best to give you music from as wide of a basis as possible. We are all about synthesizers and synthesizer music… We will strive to have artists who play in a variety of genres such as; Ambient, Breakbeat, Disco, Downtempo, Drum and Bass, Dub, Electro, Electroacoustic, Electronic Rock, Electronica, Ethnic Electronica, Hardstyle, Hi-NRG, Hip Hop, House music, Industrial, IDM, Jungle, Post-disco, Techno, Trance, Psy Trance, Modular noise, Experimental and whatever else we discover that is desirable to you.

We have an advisory board of 12 members who are from all ages and from diverse tastes in electronic music… Besides their ideas, we also want to hear your ideas for artists and we ask that you use our Facebook page for such interaction. If you want us to check out a potential electronic artist… post a link to their work on our Facebook page and we will check it out! We already know that we won’t be able to please everyone, but each year we will curate a group of artists, that are as diverse as humanly possible.

Make New Friends, Meet Old Friends

One to one relationships are the real reason to have such an event as Synthplex™. Here on the west coast, we have arguably the world’s largest community of synthesizer enthusiasts when you combine the music business element and the movie business element… and we all look forward to the times when we get to meet up, hang-out, listen to great synth music (from many genres) and learn new things about synthesis. Until now, California had nothing like Synthplex™ and finally our synthesizer community will have a large gathering place, where you are sure to meet many new people and reconnect with your longtime friends. We are all so busy these days, that we truly need Synthplex™ as an excuse to hang-out with each other. At Synthplex™ you are going to find many opportunities to make new friends and establish new business connections. We are certain that Synthplex™ will become the new hot spot where likeminded synth people will come together year after year… for the love of all things synthesizer.

We Welcome Everyone

At Synthplex™ we will not discriminate against anyone. We will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of our events or operations… We love everyone the same! We strive to create a unified & loving community of synthesizer fans, who are all working together and are kind and tolerant.

Hands-on Experiences

There will be many opportunities at Synthplex™ to get hands-on with a lot of synthesizer gear and much more. In the exhibit halls you will discover new products and you will get to dive deep into these products and experience them for yourself. All weekend long there will be equipment vendors giving demonstrations, and there will be daily DIY synthesizer building workshops (modular and other formats) going on in the morning and the afternoon.

Furthermore, Synthplex™ has an extremely special Pop-Up Synth Museum, where you can experience firsthand many rare and valuable synthesizers with the guidance of museum docents. You don’t just get to listen and see these instruments, you actually get to tweak some knobs and play them! Note: Admission into the Pop-UP Synth Museum is a separate pass from the Synth Expo pass, as all profits from the Pop-Up Museum will benefit a Music Educational organization and we will chose a new recipient each year.

Networking

Synthplex™ is all about networking. You’ll meet countless people who will inspire you and give you encouragement. Synthplex™ will have several music industry associations and their staff present to help you with understanding why joining their association will be beneficial to your success. We will also have professors and faculty members from various music education institutions, to help you cultivate your creativity and expand your knowledge of synthesis. This is the place where you can learn about getting your music out to the masses.
