Hardware Hacking Workshops Description
Nicolas Collins presents two hands-on workshops in Hardware Hacking. Assuming no technical background whatsoever, these workshops guide the participants through a series of sound-producing electronic construction projects, from making simple contact microphones, through “bending” toys”, to making oscillators and other circuits from scratch. The workshops end with a performance/installation by all participants, and a party to celebrate the publication of the expanded second edition of his book,
Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking.
April 20: Basic Hacking
Alternate microphones (contact mikes, coil pickups, using speakers and headphone as microphones, tape heads, etc.). Homemade transducers for sending sound through objects for physical filtering (cheap “Rainforest”). “Victorian synthesizer” (making an oscillator with just a speaker and a battery). “Laying of hands” on a radio circuit board (the poor man’s Cracklebox). “Circuit Bending” (new noises from old toys).
April 21: Advanced Hacking
Circuits from scratch: oscillators, tremolo/gate/panner, mixers preamp/distortion, weird analog signal processing.
