The Eliot Synthesizer Society is an informal workshop for students interested in electronic sound design and musicmaking. We meet roughly once a week to discuss the principles and techniques of modular synthesis, listen to recordings, share patch ideas, and jam. Members may use the Society's modular synthesizer system to conduct sonic explorations of their own. The Synth Society is open to all students in Harvard College, not just residents of Eliot House.
