My band (the Chorlton Radiophonic Workshop) is organising an event for Futuresonic, called "The Importance of Being Analouge". It's going to be a cross between a gig and an exhibition and we're looking for musicians with analogue instruments to join in. If you have anything like a VCS 3, theremin or telharmonium, please contact me!
The line up so far includes:

"The Importance of Being Analogue" explores the enduring love
affair that we have with analogue technology. The event is half
exhibition, half display, punctuated by improvised electronic
music performance from a motley band of Manchester's electronic
mafia. The public audience is invited to circulate between the
participant's booths and to "Feel the noize" as it is being
generated.
Part of the annual Futuresonic festival of art, music and ideas,
the event is the brainchild of Manchester Met's Jim O'Shea. Jim,
Course Leader for MMU's Computer Music Technology Course says:"MMU
is delighted to be part of Futuresonic 2008. Think of this event
as a multi-lane pile up on the information superhighway as
analogue collides with VST in an improvised public performance
exhibition. It's a chance for analogue addicts to dust off their
synths and twiddle their knobs with pride."
Planned (!) improvisations include "Dorian Drone", "Wind & Bells", and
a consort of theremins playing "Ein Choral".
