What: A sign-up based Open Mic night for anyone involved in making electronic music, whatever the style, genre or format - anything from ambient and drone through synth pop, techno to industrial, noise and beyond!

The intent is to showcase live performances of music that is PRIMARILY ELECTRONIC IN NATURE - e.g. acts using hardware or software synthesizers, electronic instruments, laptops, groove boxes, drum machines, sequencers and so forth.

NOTE: It’s not a forum for DJ’ing, or playing pre-recorded music, or for regular acoustic/electric acts (try the ‘open decks’ night at Motiv, or one of the more traditional open mic nights around town). For example, if your act can primarily be described by a genre like ‘rock’, ‘alt-rock’,’acoustic’, ‘singer songwriter’ or similar then you should probably sign up for a different event (having ‘electronic elements’ is not enough). This doesn’t preclude you using more traditional instruments like guitars or cellos - but the expectation is that these are used as part of an overall electronic composition, and not as the primary sound source, e.g. a bass guitar processed through a bunch of pitch shifters, delays, reverbs to create ambient textures and strange sounds is probably a great fit - but playing regular bass riffs over a pre-recorded backing track is probably not.

We have six 20 minute slots for performances. Come and hear your music played through a high-end Meyer sound system. YOU NEED TO RESERVE A SLOT IN ORDER TO PERFORM. NO WALK INS.
