Digital Accordion Jam
Join Sergey Antonovich, the engineer who designed two groundbreaking instruments recognized as MIDI Innovation Awards 2024 finalists – the Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer and the Digital Flex Accordion – and Vladimir Butusov, a professional accordionist who has dedicated his career to popularizing the accordion and is a finalist of the prestigious V-Accordion Festival, for an electrifying live demo.
Experience the world’s most portable full-featured electronic accordion, along with a hybrid acoustic-electronic accordion (and watch out for a very special guest from last year)
For the first time at NAMM 2025, witness a unique collaboration between Sergey Antonovich, an innovative engineer who designed cutting-edge digital musical instruments, and Vladimir Butusov, a professional accordionist committed to popularizing the accordion in modern music. Together, they will present a live demonstration of two original instruments that were selected as finalists for the prestigious MIDI Innovation Awards 2024:
- The Partymaker: Accordion Synthesizer – A hybrid instrument combining the timeless charm of an acoustic accordion with advanced electronic synthesizer features, including built-in auto-accompaniment, which offers accordionists a unique opportunity to perform as a full band.
- The Digital Flex Accordion – The world’s smallest full-featured electronic accordion with built-in auto-accompaniment, designed for ultimate portability while maintaining the capabilities of a traditional instrument.
These instruments are not just prototypes but represent a bold step into the future of electronic and hybrid musical devices, leveraging state-of-the-art MIDI technology. Sergey and Vladimir will perform an engaging set of high-energy compositions, demonstrating the versatility of these cutting-edge creations and their potential to revolutionize modern music.
