Santa Cruz Electronic Music OM is a series of live electronic music every 4th Thursday of the month in Santa Cruz (an early Thanksgiving session, 13 NOV). From ambient to techno and improv to sequenced using synthesizers (analog/digital), sequencer devices, and other electronic instruments (both old and modern)... https://emom.subvurt.net/What: A sign-up based Open Mic night for anyone involved in making electronic music, whatever the style, genre or format - anything from ambient and drone through synth pop, techno to industrial, noise and beyond!
The intent is to showcase live performances of music that is PRIMARILY ELECTRONIC IN NATURE - e.g. acts using hardware or software synthesizers, electronic instruments, laptops, groove boxes, drum machines, sequencers and so forth.

It’s not a forum for DJ’ing, or playing pre-recorded music, or for regular acoustic/electric acts (try the ‘open decks’ night at Motiv, or one of the more traditional open mic nights around town). For example, if your act can primarily be described by a genre like 'rock', 'alt-rock','acoustic', 'singer songwriter' or similar then you should probably sign up for a different event (having 'electronic elements' is not enough). This doesn't preclude you using more traditional instruments like guitars or cellos - but the expectation is that these are used as part of an overall electronic composition, and not as the primary sound source, e.g. a bass guitar processed through a bunch of pitch shifters, delays, reverbs to create ambient textures and strange sounds is probably a great fit - but playing regular bass riffs over a pre-recorded backing track is probably not.
We have six 20 minute slots for performances. Come and hear your music played through a high-end Meyer sound system. YOU NEED TO RESERVE A SLOT IN ORDER TO PERFORM. NO WALK INS.
