For F21 and S22 FaMLE (the MIT laptop ensemble) was in residency in the Voxel Lab. One of the main things we did was learn about and develop the eurorack modular synth in the lab – the possibilities there are endless!
As part of our residency we did two performances in iHQ – here is a link to the livestream of the S22 concert.

Fuzz is one of the classic building blocks of great guitar tone. Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, you name it, all used fuzz in building their legendary sound. Fuzz pedals tend to fall into a few distinct categories. The first popular iteration was the Fuzz Face, made famous by Jimi Hendrix, who also popularized the Octavio fuzz pedal, a gnarly sounding, gated fuzz with an analog octave up that gave it a very unique sound. Soon another pedal took center stage: the Tone Bender, made famous by Jimmy Page and his playing in Led Zeppelin. The third of the famous vintage fuzzes is the Big Muff, made popular by many but especially David Gilmour with his violin-like solos in Pink Floyd.
