Proudly Presents :

GOA MODULAR MOON

<Goa - India>

 

.

Transistory® (India), the first and only Eurorack & Modular music store of India, already offers music enthusiasts of any level with a vast & growing collection of products from various music gear brands.

Based in the tropical paradise of Goa, also dubbed as one of India's Main Hub(s) and Melting Pot of infinitesimal Indian & International: Cultures, Food, Music & Creative Talents. Conveniently located in the center of North Goa in Siolim (very close to the Siolim Bridge).

However, we realized thru many years of personal experience and feedback from various music & synthesis enthusiasts that simply buying music gear, preset scrolling and watching a bunch of scattered YouTube / Synthesis tutorial videos doesn't fully cover the Fundamentals, Deep Learning and Understanding of Sound & Synthesis.

Hence, Transistory decided to address the above issue by teaming up with Modular Moon to bring you another first and only Modular Synthesis School of India, fittingly named GOA MODULAR MOON.

.

Modular Moon (Amsterdam) is the headquarters of the Modular Synthesis School project and its roots, Modular Moon started here, the first of it's kind in the world. Offering a unique program of classes, presented in Cycles, currently each 'cycle' being the duration of 5 months with 1 class per week.

Founded by Anna Martinova (Tulpa Dusha) in 2018, Modular Moon is located in the center of Amsterdam, a place called A Lab. Since the beginning, Modular Moon has held multiple workshops and events with brands like Erica SynthsTINRSTiptop AudioBefacoMoog and delivers the program of modular synthesis classes, having its own specially crafted curriculum.

Besides the school, Modular Moon also gives individual one on one sessions, personalized group sessions and online sessions. 

.

Goa Modular Moon now offers the same unique Modular Synthesis School curriculum created by Modular Moon, specially crafted to help exponentially advance any artists' synthesis knowledge, understanding, skillsproficiency, & sound design techniques in Eurorack-Modular Synthesis, which can further be applied to any other sound synthesis mediums and formats.
