SYNC UP

Monthly we get together in Auburn, CA to collaborate and share new ideas and tools with our members. Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite hardware music device so that we can all connect to one combined signal to create music together. We welcome all skill levels and genres and have private stations to play synthesizers and workstations in headphones. Feel free to reach out below for additional information about our next Sync Up.

OUR EVENTS / LESSONS

We offer a range of services to share electronic music and encourage creative minds by bringing accessible tools and and sharing instruments beyond the traditional or acoustic.

-EDU Events-

WCMS brings its expertise and an array of user friendly electronic instruments to school or youth function to expose young creatives to a potential life long artistic expression

-Sound Baths/Eurorack Demonstrations-

Our team specializes in creating sound design environments in which we can guide listeners through a sonic journey ranging from gentle relaxation/meditation to experimental dance hall and many in between.

-Lessons-

Sometimes you need dedicated time with a teacher to learn a new or complicated device. Our team is capable of teaching or guiding individuals or duo’s through a series of lessons in which the attendees will learn techniques and workflows that will exponentially improve their music making capability. Reach out about below about potential instruments or styles you may be interested in and available time slots.
