Modular On The Spot is an outdoor modular synthesizer picnic founded in Los Angeles by Eric ‘Rodent’ Cheslak and Bana Haffar. The idea came about on a camping trip to Arizona in 2014 where the two set up a generator, speakers, and a modular synthesizer at an off grid location in the middle of the desert. The format was then brought to the Los Angeles river where it has resided, largely uninterrupted, for almost 3 years. The event has resonated with modular aficionados and has since spread, through local initiative, to over 20 cities across the U.S. and abroad. The informal picnic setting combined with a focus on modular synthesizers only, is intended to cultivate the exchange of ideas with those who share a common interest in the format, as well as showcase the breadth of the instrument.

Who stands to benefit from the Green New Deal? What’s at stake? Sunrise Movement is bringing our vision for a Green New Deal to every corner of America with hundreds of town halls across the country, and on May 4th, we’ll be in Asheville.
We’re building an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of jobs in the process. The Green New Deal will address the twin crises of climate change and runaway inequality with the urgency and scale that science and justice demand.
We’ll hear from youth and leaders in our community, drawing stories from grassroots social and environmental justice movements as we seek to build collective power for economic transition in Appalachia.
The Green New Deal is the biggest opportunity of our lifetime to invest in the American people. We’ll share what that looks like for us in Appalachia: jobs, climate, infrastructure, socio-economic justice, racial justice, and more.
Stay tuned for speakers to be announced!
