Circuits Non-Stop A Mini Electronic Music Convention
Circuits Non-Stop is a day-long event celebrating electronic music.
Organised by Electronic Music Malta since 2016, and now part of a programme of several events as part of ‘Circuits 2022’, this is a yearly appointment which consists of a 5+ hours long summit that brings together performers, music professionals, an audiologist and sound engineers to Spazju Kreattiv for in-depth experiences of learning, playing, and performing.
Educational workshops by Italian Ableton-Certified Trainer Edo Pietro Grande delivering an Ableton-Live production masterclass; Maltese electronic music pioneer, Edwin Balzan on operating hardware synthesizers and drum machines; whilst SAE-qualified sound engineer and technician Mark Agius, teaches sound destruction prevention.
The event also features a public performance and jamming area manned by Mike Desira and Frank Cachia with live performances by Jamie Barbara and Darren Borg there. There will also be an audiologist, Dr Andrew Sciberras, who will be giving free ear screening sessions to those attending to this event.
We conclude with the premiere of Music for Ordinary Life Machines, a documentary film that explores the Minimal Synth and Synthpunk scene in Greece since the 80’s

The underground Greek 80’s scene, where new wave and punk was expressed via synthesizers, becomes the starting point for MFOLM in order for it to capture the musical subculture in Greece that left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who fell in love with the ”machines”.
