An On Bast Master Class 大师课
10/21 Wednesday
20:00 – 23:00
Design a modular synthesizer system that truly serves your live performance
设计一套真正服务于你的现场演出模块化合成器系统
This master class explores how to shape your modular setup from initial concept to stage-ready execution. We’ll move from artistic intention to practical realization, examining system design, voice architecture, movement, flexibility and performance flow. You’ll learn how to build multi-voice patches and create dynamic transitions, how to balance structure and improvisation.
We’ll also dive into ergonomic patching strategies – how to design a system that feels intuitive and playable in a live context: how to keep control, clarity and expression while standing on stage.
In addition, we’ll discuss the role of external hardware instruments and how they can complement your modular system. The goal is not just a functioning setup but a performance instrument that is expressive, flexible, deeply personal that amplifies your artistic vision.
这场大师课将探讨如何构建模块合成器系统，涵盖从最初构思到最终舞台演出的全过程。我们将从艺术意图出发，落实到实际操作，深入剖析系统设计、音色架构、动态变化、灵活性以及演奏流程。你将可学习到如何构建多声部音色（patch）、设计动态过渡，以及如何在结构化编排与即兴演奏之间取得平衡。
此外，我们还将探讨符合人体工学的连线策略，也就是如何设计一套在现场演出中直观且易于操控的系统，确保你在舞台上既能保持掌控力与清晰度，又能充分表达情感。
我们还将讨论外部硬件乐器的作用，以及如何与你的模块化系统相辅相成。我们的目标不仅仅是搭建一套能工作的设备，而是打造一件既具表现力与灵活性、又极具个人风格，能够有力彰显你艺术愿景的演奏乐器。

About An On Bast
An On Bast (Anna Suda) is a composer, producer and live performer based in Wrocław, Poland, whose work resists easy genre definition. For over two decades, she has cultivated a distinctive voice within electronic music that transcends boundaries – one rooted in discipline and spontaneity, consciousness and intuition. Her sound unfolds as an evolving journey, balancing mechanical rhythm with emotional depth, creating music that is both club-ready and deeply introspective. Widely respected for her experimental approach, at the heart of her artistic philosophy lies curiosity, an exploration of the unknown and a commitment to building new connection.
A defining element of her artistry is her dedication to fully live performance. She performs primarily using analogue synthesizers – particularly modular systems – alongside drum machines and samplers. Through real-time sequencing, hands-on sound design and the intuitive shaping of each moment, she transforms the stage into a space of genuine creation. Her live sets are not pre-arranged sequences but improvised performances that invite surrender without passivity – demanding attention while offering catharsis. This approach lends her concerts a raw, unpredictable and intimate character, where visible intensity and physical engagement make each performance feel vividly alive. Her body of work reflects rare sensitivity, creative courage and uncompromising artistic integrity.
Her international presence has been shaped by performances in clubs and at festivals worldwide, from Berlin’s legendary scene to major events such as Fusion Festival, Sónar, Piknic Électronik, Amsterdam Dance Event and Garbicz Festival, as well as tours across Australia and China. She has released music on respected labels including Awesome Soundwave, founded by Carl Cox, with eleven solo albums and numerous EPs to her name.
An On Bast reclaims electronic music as a handcrafted art form. The result is an experience that is unconventional yet unforgettable – an immersive live act created for discerning audiences seeking depth, authenticity and artistic excellence.

An On Bast（本名 Anna Suda）是一位常驻波兰弗罗茨瓦夫（Wrocław）的作曲家、制作人及现场演出艺术家，其作品难以被简单归类于某种特定流派。二十多年来，她在电子音乐领域构建了独特的个人风格，这种风格超越了传统界限，融合了严谨的技法与即兴的灵感，以及理性意识与直觉感知。她的音乐宛如一场不断演进的旅程，在机械律动与情感深度之间取得平衡，既适合俱乐部舞池，又蕴含着深刻的内省特质。她因其先锋的实验性创作手法而备受推崇；其艺术理念的核心在于对未知的好奇与探索，以及致力于建立全新的人际与情感联结。
坚持全现场（fully live）演绎是她艺术风格的显著标志。她的演出主要使用模拟合成器（尤其是模块合成器系统）、鼓机及采样器。通过实时音序编排、亲手操纵的声音设计以及对每一刻灵感的直觉塑造，她将舞台转化为一个充满真实创造力的空间。她的现场演出并非预先编排好的音序播放，而是充满即兴色彩的演绎——既引人全情投入又不流于被动，既要求观众保持专注，又能带来情感的宣泄与释放。这种方式赋予了她的音乐会一种原始、不可预测且亲密无间的特质；她那可见的演出张力与肢体投入，让每一场表演都充满了鲜活的生命力。她的作品展现了难得的细腻情感、创作勇气以及对艺术纯粹性的坚定执着。
她的国际影响力源于在全球各地俱乐部及音乐节的演出经历，足迹遍布柏林传奇的电子音乐场景，以及 Fusion Festival、Sónar、Piknic Électronik、Amsterdam Dance Event 和 Garbicz Festival 等大型盛会，并曾在澳大利亚和中国进行巡演。她已在包括 Carl Cox 创立的 Awesome Soundwave 在内的多家知名厂牌发行音乐作品，迄今为止共推出了十一张个人专辑及众多 EP。
An On Bast 重新定义了电子音乐，将其还原为一种由手工匠心打造的艺术形式。由此呈现的体验既不落俗套又令人难忘——这是一场专为那些追求深度、真实性与卓越艺术品质的挑剔听众而打造的沉浸式现场演出。
