As part of the ongoing SOS Sunday Live Sessions, Techno and DJ legend Christopher Coe presents a one off, exclusive to School of Synthesis live session demonstrating how he sets up his rig and performs live.
Christopher Coe is one half of the live electronic label Awesome Soundwave alongside one of the most recognised and renowned DJ’s and Producers on the planet – the legendary Carl Cox. In this live session Christopher replicates his live show from setting it up to performing live.
This is an incredible opportunity to see and take part in his live show via discussion, demonstration and questions and answers. Christopher uses a combination of outboard gear such as his custom Eurorack modular system, Moog devices and Elektron devices as well as Ableton and Ableton Push all routed through the Pioneer V10 mixer with various saturation and compression devices on the master output to perform live in a five hour private workshop where you and he work together to conceptualise a live set up including the connectivity, creativity and workflow techniques. The workshop is strictly limited to 9 places so please book early to ensure your spot at this special event.
