The synthesizer trio QRM are back with a set of live electronic instrumental pieces on the theme of the deep ocean.

You will be treated to music inspired by everything from early life in the oceans to current day marine research, and everything in between, played on a variety of replica vintage and modern electronic instruments. The performance is once again accompanied by a video created by visual artist and composer Hilary de Vries.

At the end there will be time to ask questions and have a look at the kit that the group use.

Numbers limited to 40: booking essential. Tickets £10.

QRM is formed from Nick Scroggie, Mark Dammer and Maarten de Vries, who are some of the founding members of the Moray Firth Synthesizer Club which was developed during lockdown to provide an opportunity for meeting and playing online.

Nick Scroggie lives in Inverness and works with the Scottish Government on digital infrastructure projects. His musical background includes a career as a DJ. He uses modular synthesizers, the original form of the instrument (with individual modules connected by patchable cables).

Mark Dammer lives in Forres and is a self-employed software and IT specialist. He has a particular interest in combining his synthesizers with tablet computers and home-made electronics.

Maarten de Vries lives in the Black Isle and works with several membership associations promoting safe work at height. His speciality is analogue synthesizers and his style is heavily influenced by instrumental electronic music from the 80s.

Hilary de Vries is a composer of contemporary Scottish music and a visual artist, whose recent work includes pastel drawings inspired by the landscape around her. Her musical work includes An Orkney Sampler, a collection of tunes written during her visits to Orkney.
