Darkness and light

I headed off for another edition of House of Targ's Switched On Synths a week ago, and it was a great combination of analog beepery, gothic sounds, classic synth pop and dance rock, starting with a set from Infinity's Astrum. Here's Nick and his modular setup!



So ... many ... wires.



Modular action!



On to The Marquis; he's performed at Targ before, both solo and as one half of Automelodi. He was quite a bit more goth this time around.



Guitar election!



Vocal action!



Gripping action!



On to the moody synthpop of Glass Apple Bonzai - they've also come through Targ a couple of times. Here's Daniel!



Keyboard action with Steve!



A shouty bit!



More Steve!



Singalong action!



Steve sings!



Roof-raising action!



Toronto's Kontravoid ended the night; mainman Cameron was a founder of Parallels during their early days (well before I caught Holly and Co. at Targ), now hes heavy on a minimalist dancefloor kick. His setup includes some powerful floor lights, so a lot of my picture taking involved shooting a whole lot and hoping he was standing in the right place when the lights flashed on. Here's Cameron!



Cameron jumps about!



Synthetic action!



Gripping action!



And so on!



A very lively night out!
