Moving across key eras, the workshop traces how these instruments developed from experimental machines into essential creative tools used across genres today.Along the way, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how different forms of synthesis emerged, why certain sounds became culturally significant, and how vintage ideas continue to influence modern production.Houg (Sameh Wahba) is a Singaporean artist-producer known for his work in chillwave and trip-hop, blending elements of pop, jazz, and rock into immersive, textured soundscapes.
