The Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music, or STEIM, has been helping controllerists build their own dream instruments for more than 40 years. Later this month STEIM brings together controllerists from around the world for the first Patterns + Pleasure Festival. This symposium will include concerts, discussions and workshops featuring some of the newest and most adventurous artists in today’s live electronic music scene. More info can be found on the Patterns + Pleasure site.
