Beyond the Platform: The Synthesis Book
While we are building this educational platform, we are also actively developing another essential tool: a comprehensive book on sound synthesis.
Born from the creative spirit of the Geeky Punks community, curated by Vidmantas Savikūra and brought to life through the visual poetry of Toma Kanytė, this book is an invitation to imagine, feel, and create.
Synth Library Portland and Geeky Punks are proud to have the support of Erica Synths in building our educational vision!
