Description:

The modern era of live electronic music is dominated by controllers and computers. This workshop intends to showcase a different approach to making electronic music instruments. It’s an older approach adopted by the engineers that pioneered the field of modular synthesizers like Bob Moog, Don Buchla and others. The main objective of this workshop is to kickstart you into the ancient realm of audio electronics. The kits that we’re providing will enable you to build a simple step sequencer, a fuzzy guitar pedal or a light Theremin! We’re going to also talk about the following topics:
