The German-language SynMag synthesizer magazine operates under the motto People Machines Music. It was founded in 2006 by Andreas Michel and Moogulator in Solingen and Rellingen near Hamburg. It is dedicated to everything that the name promises. The work is generally networked and decentralized, there are no editorial meetings, everything works virtually and is added as a printed work with complex and detailed content as a supplement to the medium of the Internet – what is missing on the Internet should go here, what is on the Internet does not necessarily have to be in the booklet stand. The motto was shortened to “SynMag – The Synthesizer Magazine” – because – that looks better! Moogulator has previously done editorial work for other magazines (Keys, Beat and the music magazines Gothic Press and Electronic Disease) and others) and also founded magazines, all of which were or are in the music field. Our basis on the net is of course Sequencer.de and the Sequencer.de forum – and then the guy also takes part in videocasts from time to time (Musotalk) and so on. That’s why we as a magazine do relatively little “news” on the main site, which our colleagues and the forum and Sequencer.de can do faster than paper. We’re a small team and we’re potentially looking forward to any input in ALL areas of music that’s electronic in any way. Here are the results so far. Short Form: SynMag. The German-language synthesizer magazine (print, web primarily contains the most necessary information about the issues: www.synthesizer-magazin.de – News and Co here on Sequencer.de). Shortened form: SynMag – pronounced Sün-Mack – not Mäg, because it’s also a magazine and not a Määgäsin like in Kraftwerk’s “Model” – but we like Brits!
