📣 Modulate Artist Announcement : AM Frequencies

A Modulate favourite returning to .gallery.wales this Friday is AM Frequencies.

This is what Andy had to say .... "I am Andy Marshall, also known in the electronica world as AM Frequencies. I am a classically trained violinist who plays 1st violin with Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra, and most recently drummer of post- rock band Made of Regret; music is my LIFE outside of work as a software engineer. I got into modular synthesis just before lockdown, and what was going to be a small rack got a lot bigger in lockdown, as this hobby turned more into an obsession! Since doing my first modular gig at Birmingham Modular Organisation in September 2022 I have played more EMOM nights than I can remember, and have had good feedback about my sets. My style is very ambient/IDM with a donk on it, usually."

📣 Modulate Artist Announcement : Martin Modulate

A familiar face to Modulate regulars Martin Modulate will be once again bringing his noisey acidic techno to Ink. this Friday.

Martin Modulate delivers high-octane, acid-infused techno fueled by an unrelenting punk attitude. Involved in the music scene since the mid-90s and first playing out live in the early 2000s, Martin's sets feature dirty driving 303s and pounding beats that never fail to get the place rocking. In recent years, he has cemented his reputation with a string of tracks released on the seminal UK acid techno label, Stay Up Forever. Since starting to play out live again 2 years ago, Martin has become a mainstay of the Modulate collective - which is fortunate given his artist name!
