DESCRIPTION
A hands-on battery-powered electronics hacking & building experimental sound and noise workshop + jam, led by sound artist Jeff Morton.
Explore the underbelly of discarded consumer electronics. We will take apart, re-wire, and amplify a collection of electronic sound-making toys and objects.
Jeff will present audio synthesis concepts and DIY electronic music. Participants will then learn about the basic tools and tehcniques in soldering and simple electronics hacking. By making new connections directly on the circuitboards, by attaching new controls like knobs, buttons and dials, and by wiring in new audio output jacks, we will create an orchestra of noise and sound modules. The end result will be a set of hi-fi electronic musical instruments that can be performed individually or in concert with other electronic modules or effects.
All participants will work on their very own circuit-bent instrument (which they will take home afterwards), and we will all plug in to a sound system for a massive collective glitchy-synth noise jam.
All materials provided, including tools and electronics.
