Handmade Electronic Music
Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking provides a long-needed, practical, and engaging introduction for students of electronic music, installation, and sound-art to the craft of making—as well as creatively cannibalizing— electronic circuits for artistic purposes. Designed for practitioners and students of electronic art, it provides a guided tour through the world of electronics, encouraging artists to get to know the inner workings of basic electronic devices so they can creatively use them for their own ends. With a little knowledge and a sense of adventure, an artist can subvert the intentions designed into devices like electronic radios or toys and discover all sorts of alternative possible sounds. Handmade Electronic Music carries the reader through a series of sound-producing electronic construction projects, from making simple contact microphones, to transforming cheap electronic toys into playacircuits from scratch.
This event is a followup to the Handmade Electronic Music workshop the weekend before, and will consist of Nic presenting the second edition of his book, a performance by workshop participants and an afterparty. To celebrate, there will be champagne and snacks.
