If there's one book on music machines and the designs that have made them iconic that's stood head and shoulders above the rest, it is of course PUSH TURN MOVE. It's a glorious, fresh and informative exploration of interface design in electronic music instruments across 350+ full color pages.
For some it'll look great on a coffee table, and others when they read it will appreciate how much there is to learn about the instruments many of us use daily to create music.
Well, here's some awesome, exclusive news for you... The author, Kim Bjorn has teamed up with Chris Meyer from Learning Modular to create the next book synth lovers will be lusting after. And this time we're going modular.
PATCH & TWEAK is a new book about modular synths, their makers and masters and features a foreword by Suzanne Ciani. It will be a 320+ page book packed full of knowledge about modular synthesizers, eurorack modules, interviews with modular artists and more. The book will be hitting Kickstarter on 1st May 2018, so stay tuned to AskAudio for more info as it becomes available.
