About
The Museum of Synthesisers (MoS) is dedicated to preserving the histories of synthesisers and electronic sound and exploring the wider culture and communities that grew around them. It celebrates synthesisers as instruments that shaped music as we know it and what they came to represent across different historical and social contexts. Coming to London, MoS will bring together research, public programmes and exhibitions, creating a place for anyone interested in the history of sound and the evolving relationship between people and synthesisers.

Britain's Early Electronic Sound
Where new instruments met new ideas.
The studios, the instruments and the people who built electronic sound in Britain, some inventing new ways of working, some bending equipment towards sounds no one expected.
Britain's Early Electronic Sound looks at the moment when sound itself became something you could build. In studios and workshops across the country, a small number of people began making music with electricity, tape and equipment that had never been used in this way before, changing what music could be.
The programme brings that history into the open through workshops, screenings, recorded conversations and an online archive. Some of it is about the instruments and the studios. At its centre are the people: who they were, what they were reaching for, and how work made decades ago still shapes the sound of everything around us now.
Much of this history has already been preserved by archives, researchers and the people who lived it, but it sits in separate places, held by different institutions and individuals, rarely seen side by side. Britain's Early Electronic Sound brings these threads together, makes them easier to encounter, and connects the history to the instruments and people making electronic sound today.
