Why is it called the Asheville Cesspool of Synths?
Back in 2011, NC State Senator James Forrester labeled Asheville as a “cesspool of sin” … Of course, AVL adopted this branding with relish and got T-shirts and mugs printed and everything! … Also – what with Moog and Make Noise here, AVL really is the synth capital of the universe
Hence … Cesspool of Synths!

What happens at tACoS?
Just show up!
… If you’d like to share something you’ve been synthesizing then be ready to jump in whenever there’s a moment.
- You can perform a short solo or group set you have prepared.
- You can be ready to collaborate and improvize.
- You can bring some nifty gadget for folks to tinker around with.
- You can plug in to power and PA in the garage.
Bring beverages and snax.
Kid friendly.
