During that visit, members of the Love Synthesizers team explored the mountains overlooking Sofia, capturing footage that later became part of the company&#039;s promotional teaser content. The experience helped create a lasting connection with both the city and the festival. Love Synthesizers looks forward to reconnecting with the Synth Symposium community and hopes to return to Sofia in person for future editions of the festival, including a planned return in 2027.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Event Information</strong></p><p>Event: Synth Symposium 2026<br>\u200bDates: June 20&ndash;21, 2026<br>\u200bLocation: Sofia, Bulgaria<br>\u200bArtist Representative: Roberta Dimana<br>\u200bFeatured Instrument: FIRST LOVE Synthesizer</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For additional information about Love Synthesizers and FIRST LOVE, please visit <a href=\"http://www.lovesynthesizers.com/\"><u>www.lovesynthesizers.com</u></a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><hr /><p><strong>About Love Synthesizers</strong></p><p>Founded in Reykjav&iacute;k, Iceland in 2023 by musician, designer, and inventor K&aacute;ri Halld&oacute;rsson, Love Synthesizers creates innovative electronic instruments designed to make music creation intuitive, expressive, and accessible to everyone. The company&#039;s flagship instrument, FIRST LOVE, combines animated touchscreen interaction with tactile knobs and buttons to transform the traditionally complex world of FM synthesis into an engaging, hands-on creative experience. FIRST LOVE represents Love Synthesizers&#039; mission to lower barriers to musical expression while providing a deep and rewarding instrument for beginners and experienced musicians alike. Love Synthesizers believes that technology should inspire creativity rather than complicate it, empowering more people to explore, create, and share music through thoughtfully designed instruments.</p><div class=\"release-content-contact\" id=\"contact-ddb04c40-4bf6-4419-af4c-d965d8e5eee0\">\n    <div class=\"release-content-contact__avatar\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/043d9516-7456-4d1c-90e4-ddad675b969b/-/scale_crop/128x128/center/-/format/auto/\" alt=\"Ashley Kinchen\" class=\"release-content-contact__avatar-image\" /></div>\n    <div class=\"release-content-contact__details\">\n        <strong class=\"release-content-contact__name\">Ashley Kinchen</strong>\n        <em class=\"release-content-contact__description\">Public Relations, Hummingbird Media, Inc.</em>\n        <ul class=\"release-content-contact__details-list\"><li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"mailto:ashley@hummingbirdmedia.com\"  class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"ashley@hummingbirdmedia.com\"><svg class=\"icon icon-paper-plane release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-paper-plane\"></use>\n            </svg>ashley@hummingbirdmedia.com</a></li>\n<li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"https://www.hummingbirdmedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"hummingbirdmedia.com\"><svg class=\"icon icon-browser release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-browser\"></use>\n            </svg>hummingbirdmedia.com</a></li></ul>\n    </div>\n</div><p>&nbsp;</p>",
