Design Academy Eindhoven and Synthux.academy present a collection of human-centered synthesizers. Between art and engineering, this exhibition pushes the boundaries of sound devices. Discover unconventional designs, live a unique user experience.

Reimagining instruments

Rather than viewing instruments as physical objects created to produce music, we define the term "instrument" as anything that can be played, as long as electricity runs through it. While reimagining and redesigning traditional instruments, while bridging the analogue and the digital, a new way is introduced to create soundscapes.

Interacting with sound

The event is designed as an interactive space in which people themselves create, commune and through synthesizing (generating and combining) waveforms, they explore complex sound typologies via unconventional synths, immersive installations or even alien fruits.

DIY synthesis

No one among us was familiar with coding or sound design before starting this project. However, the outcomes of our extensive hands-on practice aim to show that anyone interested in synthesis can design their own sound piece.
