Molten Music Technology is the professional and creative expression of Robin Vincent. It pulls together a fascination with synthesizers, modular, modular DIY, music technology and electronic making music on the Microsoft Surface Pro. Molten Music Technology includes a successful YouTube channel, the Molten Modular and Surface Pro Audio websites, the Synth East annual synthesizer festival and Synth Picnic monthly event in Norwich..
Robin has been working in the music technology industry since he joined London’s Turnkey music shop in 1996. For 20 years, he’s been building computers for musicians and studios, first through Carillon Audio Systems, then Rain Computers and finally with Molten Music Technology. And then, around 2016 things began to change. Building audio PCs was becoming unsustainable, and so Molten Music Technology pivoted into producing music technology content. The YouTube channel grew, producing a series on making music with the Microsoft Surface Pro, and then came a huge dive into modular synthesis and electronic music production.
Robin now spends his time writing news, reviews and articles for numerous websites like PerfectCircuit.com and the real-life printed magazine Sound On Sound. He produces a constant stream of music tech videos, including gear reviews, advice, how-tos, live streams and interviews. Every month there’s a Molten Music Monthly round-up of product news from around the industry, and a Synth Picnic synthesizer play day in Norwich. He makes plenty of his own music and is always looking for interesting ways to express it.
Review Submissions
I don’t charge for videos. If you’d like me to review your synthesizer, module or hardware gizmo then all you need to do is get in touch and send it to me. I aim to review a product with as little bias as possible, highlighting the things I like and the things I dont, and so taking money is contrary to that ideal. I am also happy to send the product back afterwards, although leaving it with me does give it the chance to appear in more videos or live performances – that’s up to you. I will try to produce a review in line with a release date, but I can’t always guarantee the scheduling. Sometimes it can take a very long time to review something because I need to do other work that pays the bills. You are welcome to call for its return if it’s not working out for you. My intention is always to show great products in the best light I can, with honesty and enthusiasm, but it is a labour of love rather than a contractual obligation. So, if you have something new and would like an authentic opinion and a bit of publicity through my audience, then I think I can help.
