6PM: Hardware Noise Hacking with Ryan Jordan – £10
In this session of Hardware Noise Hacking you will be making some PSYCHEDELIC SQUARE WAVE TOILET GOGGLES!!!! Yes indeed, your very own hallucinogenic, drug free goggles!
Aside from that, the workshop will teach you simple circuit and electronics building to make your own square wave synth and stroboscopic lights, both with controllable frequency.
No programming skill is required.
No electronics skill is required.
No musical skill is required.
Only your body and brain are required.
This is an open workshop for anyone interested in DIY punk noise machines.
There is an additional £15 charge for the kit, if you wish to take it home with you and scare your friends and impress your enemies!
The kit includes:
- 555 timer circuit

7:45PM: Understanding Sound and Music by Programming Computers with S. Jagannathan – £10
Session 2 (of 2): Synthesis From Scratch
Part 2 of audio enthusiast and professional computational motivational speaker Jag’s 2 part series on making sound from basic computer code. About 50% of the workshop/talk will have computer sound & music ideas – these will be programming language agnostic – in a format that people without any prior programming background but with an interest in computer music can understand. PD, max/msp, SuperCollider, etc. users will benefit from looking into that primal black box of sound generators!
Requirements:
- Basic knowledge of programming – variables, loops, conditionals, basic pointers. (if you have done programming in the past it should be fairly straightforward.)
- A computer with a C++ compiler (Linux, XCode, etc.)
