The Berlin Modular Society is currently organised by Simon Redfern (3rd Party Influence), JacqNoise, Dirk Pogrzeba (Neversleep), Roy Hughes (Teslator) and Franziska.
First Patches
Simon initiated BMS with a twitch channel to provide some performance opportunities during the first Covid lockdown - and Simon and Steve Williams (drusnoise) organised (and played) in the first event, BMS #1, on 22nd May 2021.
The Berlin Modular Society name was chosen in homage to the New York Modular Society who were already active on Twitch at that time.
The artists performing at BMS1 were Monotrail, eddrro, ili.ili (his first live set ever), 3rd Party Influence and drusnoise. Everyone streamed from their own studio space except for Monotrail who streamed from Simon's kitchen - what a pleasure! The whole stream is available here: https://www.facebook.com/BerlinModularSociety/videos/794879054566646
