The contestants’ entries will be adjudicated by an expert panel composed of Amin Bhatia, winner of the Roland International Synthesizer Competition in 1981 and 1982; Jason Amm AKA Solvent, a Toronto-based electronic musician; Jeremy Greenspan, one half of the Hamilton-based hit duo Junior Boys; and Paul McCabe, vice-president of Roland Canada. |
