musotalk deconstructed: Vintage Synthesizers, Reissues and the Truth Behind the Classic Myth

Anyone who thinks a synthesizer is just a tool has underestimated the ethics of machines. Musotalk gathers not only scene heavyweights like Michael Soltau, but also a concentrated dose of practical knowledge, anecdotes, and critical reflection on vintage synthesizers, reissues, and clones. Between nostalgia, maintenance frustration, and sonic magic, this talk unfolds, illuminating the patch geometry between emotional attachment and technical reality. If you want to know why an OB-X8 is not simply an OB-X and why working with old gear sometimes requires more patience than talent, you shouldn’t miss this discussion. The truth, as so often, lies somewhere between

CROW HILL

A Sonic Pilgrimage: Inside BT’s Cave with CROW HILL

Step through the threshold of the BT Cave, where every synth hums with memory and every knob is a tactile echo of the past.

Here, instruments are not just tools but living chapters in a lifelong sonic narrative. Prepare to drift between nebula drones and tactile ghosts, as BT reveals how each machine shapes not only sound, but the very soul of music-making.
