The Hybrid Approach: Live Performance Workshop & Showcase with Klauss (Argentina)

Join Klauss (Ernesto Romeo, Pablo Gil, Lucas Romeo) from La Siesta del Fauno in Buenos Aires for an immersive exploration of live electronic music performance. This intensive workshop delves into the art of assembling live electronic sets using a combination of electronic drums, MIDI, analog synthesizers and sequencers, arpeggiators and samplers.

Note: the workshop will be conducted in Spanish, with English translation available if needed.

Workshop topics include:

• MIDI and analog synchronization (trigger, sync, etc.)

• Sequencing techniques

• Integration with DAWs

• Controller use, mixing, and processing

Participants will work hands-on with both classic and contemporary equipment, programming iconic machines like the Moog Modular Systems, Roland TR-909, TB-303, System 100, TR-8, Juno-6, Buchla Modular System, Akai MPC, Antonus Step Brother, Korg SQ, and Sequential Pro-One.

Discover the creative possibilities of live electronic performance through this in-depth, practical workshop.

Open to all levels.

Following the workshop, Klauss will perform a live showcase – open to the public.

About Klauss:

The Argentine project Klauss is composed of Ernesto Romeo, Lucas Romeo and Pablo Gil. Founded in 1988, it explores the expressive possibilities of the different languages of contemporary electronic, electroacoustic and progressive music, combining minimalist and polymetric sequences, dance rhythms, impressionist harmonies, free forms, noise, atonalism and psychedelia. Through real-time composition procedures, its sound aesthetics come to life in dream-like environments, danceable rituals, acoustic landscapes, and symphonic textures. Klauss's concerts include impressive retro-futuristic sets made up of an unusual configuration of instruments and analog and digital electronic devices, modular and sequential systems that are deployed live.

La Siesta del Fauno:

All the instrumentation used in Klauss's concerts is part of the collection of the recording studio and electroacoustic laboratory La Siesta Del Fauno. Directed by the members of the group, this studio is a fundamental reference of the current music scene. Equipped with a wide, exhaustive and refined selection of synthesizers, electronic instruments and equipment, keyboards and processors (classical and contemporary), it stands as one of the most important venues in the world of its kind.
