STIFF WIGGLE

Winnipeg, MB
Queercore Synthpunk

“Queering the synth community with feedback loops of love. THIS is punk rock”

Comparing their artistic personality to that of a ‘queer mad scientist from the ‘80s’, synthesizer enthusiast Stiff Wiggle will “Shock the Dock” with malicious grooves from their imposingly complicated modular synthesizer while screaming into a vocoder about lust and fear of abandonment. at the PWM Wiggle & Blunder Electric Afterparty. Get ready to dance!

Stiff Wiggle (they/them) is the founder and teacher behind Stiff Synth School. With a background in programming and making music through both analog and digital synths, they bring a wealth of hands-on experience in everything from modular and traditional synthesizers, drum machines and sequencers, DAWs like Ableton Live and FL Studio. A passionate queer, non-binary educator, Stiff is committed to dismantling long-standing gatekeeping in the synth world—creating an inclusive, welcoming space for people of all genders to explore the fundamentals of sound. Stiff will be sharing their knowledge about everything synth related in the Wiggleroom Interactive Synthlab at the Saturday afternoon Patch & Release: Modular Synthposeum at the AGSM.
