Synthposium: Вячеслав Григорьев (тизер)

Situated at the junction of music and technology, Synthposium is a festival featuring exhibitions, an educational program, Q&As and an extensive music program with live performances. This year’s event includes over 150 Russian and international artists and will take place in Moscow on August 24-27. Vyacheslav Grigoriev, the founder of the VG-Line workshop and production, is Moscow’s chief man when it comes to repairing and modifying synthesizers. An expert in Soviet electronics, Vyacheslav is known for his modified and upgraded version of the cult RITM-2 synthesizer, as well as the TR-909-inspired desktop bass drum module, that goes far beyond the original. His workshop is a unique enterprise with a DIY attitude, that denies any corporate classification, where he repairs and manufactures synthesizers of different designs and basically lives. Grigoriev will join the Expo section and present his newly-engineered products at the Vintage Hall on August 26 and 27.
