The Monosynth Orchestra was founded in Edinburgh in 2007 by Sean Williams. Initially a free improvisation trio using analogue monophonic synthesizers, the orchestra recently performed a seminal piece of electronic music written and recorded by Morton Subotnik in 1971 entitled Sidewinder at The Reid Concert Hall in Edinburgh as part of the Soundings Sonic Arts festival.

We're constantly developing better performance strategies and continue to perform regularly. We don't use keyboards if we can help it, after all, why would you want to pretend a synth is a piano?

We are happy to consider commissions to perform any electronic piece from the repertoire, but since our monophonic limitations or not at all strict, our range is very wide.

Members include:

• Dave Meckin
• Jules Rawlinson | Pixelmechanics
• Sean Williams | Process
• Lauren Hayes | The Laurel Tree
• Owen Green
• Lin Zhang | Aliased Neuron & Grind Sight Open Eye
• Henrik Ekeus
