Twelve-week cycle of modular synthesizer masterclasses. Start 14 February 2026, duration 12 weeks, 24 participants.
Koloah starts on 14 February 2026 a weekly modular synthesizer masterclass cycle at the Kyiv Composers' House (32 Pushkinska Street). The cycle runs 12 weeks (February to May 2026), with 24 participants (selected from 187 applications submitted in December 2025). This is the largest such educational project in Ukraine in history — previously there were only sporadic individual consultations. Course structure: 12 modules, 2 sessions per week (Tuesday-Thursday, 19:00-21:30, 2.5 hours each). Module topics: 1) Modular synthesis basics; 2) VCO oscillators; 3) Filtering; 4) Envelopes & LFOs; 5) Sequencing; 6) Effects processing; 7) Composition principles; 8) Live performance; 9) Recording techniques; 10) Studio integration; 11) Solo project development; 12) Final showcase (12 presentations). Technical equipment — the Composers' House purchased 6 professional modular setups for the course (Moog, Buchla 200e mini, Make Noise Shared System) totaling 1.2 million UAH (Ukrainian Cultural Foundation funding). Each participant gets free access to setups during the 12 weeks. Graduation works (12 short ambient compositions) will be included in the compilation album 'Kyiv Modular 2026' (release September 2026 on Important Records label).
