Modular synthesizer masterclass, L’Inconnue, Talence

L'Inconnue

L’Inconnue, a music venue on Rue François Boucher in Talence, next to Bordeaux, opens its doors on Wednesday evening for a free masterclass about modular synthesizers. The guest is Etienne Jaumet, known as a member of the duo Zombie Zombie. The listing asks why instruments designed more than sixty years ago still fascinate so many musicians and how they actually work, and it points out that behind the cables, knobs and blinking lights they are tools for creation and exploration rather than cold, complicated machines. Through demonstrations, conversation and sound experiments, the session invites the audience to look differently at a music that is often misunderstood. It is aimed at the curious and at music lovers, with no previous knowledge mentioned. The listing sets a minimum age of ten and links to the venue page for registration. The language is French. It runs from 18:30 to 21:30. «Masterclass : À la découverte des synthétiseurs modulaires avec ETIENNE JAUMET» Starts 18:30, ends about 21:30. Source: OpenAgenda — L'Inconnue (open data).

The listing does not give a price. Registration goes through a Weezevent page, and the visit runs from 11:00 to 12:00. A guided visit like this is easy to join alone, since everyone in the group is there out of the same curiosity about how engineers are trained. «Cette visite propose une immersion dans l’Evolutive Learning Factory (ELF) bordelaise des Arts et Métiers.» Starts 11:00, ends about 12:00.

Idées à lire reading tips, Castagnéra library, Talence

Médiathèque Castagnéra

On a Saturday morning the Castagnéra media library in Talence, just south of Bordeaux, runs one of its «Idées à lire» sessions, a relaxed hour for anyone who wants fresh ideas on what to read next. Librarians present a selection of titles that caught their eye, from new autumn novels and personal favourites to quieter, lesser-known authors, and they share practical reading advice. The point of the hour is exchange rather than lecture: visitors are invited to talk about the writers they love, to compare tastes with others and to leave with a few books to try. The listing sets a minimum age of 15, says entry is open and mentions no booking. It is in French and lasts one hour, from 11:00 to 12:00. Coming alone is easy here, because the whole format is built around chatting with strangers about books. «Idées à lire : melting pot littéraire 2026» Starts 11:00, ends about 12:00.
