UK synthesist Ian Boddy's record label, DiN, was set up in 1999 to bridge the gap between the analogue music of Boddy's heritage and the emerging digital possibilities of the future. 

Tone Science, a sub-label of DiN Records, was created in 2018 and inspired by Boddy's experimental electronic music release “Tone Science” (DiN48), an album that comprised five long, slowly evolving self-playing compositions realised entirely on a vast arsenal of modular synthesisers. 

The ever-expanding Tone Science series of albums currently comprises six releases across the entirety of which are compositions from more than forty of today's most innovative electronic musicians working in the area of modular synthesis. 

Now, for the first time, DiN is staging an event to showcase the talent of a variety of musicians working in this fascinating genre. The extended-length Tone Science Concert, rather like a mini electronic music festival, will feature sets from some of the most creative and ground-breaking musicians in this field, including Scanner (Robin Rimbaud), Ian Boddy, Polypores, Nigel Mullaney and Field Lines Cartographer.

The concert will culminate in a collaborative performance of a composition by American minimalist and drone music pioneer La Monte Young.
