About us
Sofia Synth Symposium Community
A community for people who build, perform, experiment with, and explore music technology.
The Sofia Synth Symposium Community brings together musicians, producers, synthesizer enthusiasts, hardware makers, software developers, sound designers, educators, artists, and curious newcomers interested in the future of sound.
Our events cover topics including:
• Synthesizers and modular systems
• Electronic music production
• Audio software and plugin development
• Music technology and creative coding
• Hardware design and DIY electronics
• Sound design and interactive media
• AI and emerging creative tools
• Live performance and experimental music
Whether you’re designing Eurorack modules, building audio plugins, producing tracks in Ableton, experimenting with Max/MSP, creating new musical instruments, or simply curious about how sound and technology intersect, you’ll find like-minded people here.
We host talks, workshops, demos, listening sessions, hands-on build events, performances, and informal meetups where ideas, knowledge, and projects can be shared.
Based in Sofia and connected to the wider European music technology ecosystem, our goal is to help grow a vibrant community around sound, creativity, engineering, and innovation.
Come meet the people building the future of music technology.
