SOMA Laboratory Master Class
10/24 Saturday
19:00 – 21:00
Find your sonic identity with SOMA Laboratory
Looking to build a sound that’s unmistakably yours? Join SOMA Laboratory for a two-hour workshop designed to give you practical tools and ideas you can take straight into your own music, whatever genre you work in.
You’ll start by hearing from PR Director of SOMA, Regina Pechenina, on the philosophy behind the brand: why SOMA instruments are built the way they are, and how that thinking can help you shape a more distinct, recognizable sonic identity.
From there, you’ll see exactly how these instruments perform in real conditions, presented by SOMA ambassadors. Glenn Keteleer, aka Radical G, will walk you through The PIPE and COSMOS and more, showing how to get the most out of them in your workflow. Tim Kroker, the legendary drummer from Front 242, will show you the FLUX and TERRA, sharing techniques drawn from his own stage and studio experience. You’ll also be among the first to see SOMA’s newest device, ENIGMA, a synthesizer fully controlled by the position and movement of metallic objects.
Come away with concrete techniques, a clearer sense of how each instrument fits into a performance or production setup, direct access to the artists who perform with them, and the team behind the brand.

About Glenn Keteleer aka Linear Straight/Radical G
Glenn Keteleer is a Belgian sound architect based in Tongeren Belgium’s oldest city. A true musical chameleon, he has spent decades shaping a unique sonic identity across multiple genres, seamlessly moving between techno, EBM, electro, industrial, ambient, and experimental electronic music.
Best known as the creative force behind Radical G and Linear Straight, Glenn has built an international reputation for uncompromising productions and immersive live performances. His projects are driven by a passion for innovation, blending raw energy with cinematic sound design and meticulous attention to detail.
A dedicated hardware artist, Glenn crafts his performances using SOMA Laboratory instruments alongside carefully curated Eurorack modular systems. His approach focuses on extracting the widest possible sonic spectrum from compact setups, proving that creativity and deep sound design matter far more than the size of the rig. This philosophy was on full display during his outstanding performance at Modular Commune last year, where he delivered an expansive, dynamic set using remarkably little gear while achieving an enormous and richly detailed sound palette.
Whether performing as Radical G, exploring hypnotic techno as Linear Straight, or creating under one of his many other monikers, Glenn Keteleer continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. Constantly evolving yet instantly recognizable, he remains one of Belgium’s most versatile and respected electronic artists—a genuine sonic craftsman whose music defies labels and rewards adventurous listeners.
