Synzine is an A5 black&white free journal, publishing pieces that research different ways to write down performative compositions using text, graphic notation, game pieces and more.
Synzines 1-3 (2009-2011) were curated and edited together by Maya Felixbrodt and Avi Bohbot. Currently, Maya Felixbrodt co-edits Synzine with Richard Stenton and the magazine is printed in Birmingham, UK by stenton.press.
The focus of the magazine is on accessible activities, without musical knowledge or skills needed. Happening and theatre influences are quite strong, with a lot of active listening and rare usage of goals.
