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
capacitors
resistors
small speaker
breadboard
9v battery and clip
potentiometer
LED's
Instruction and reference booklet.
What you will need to bring to the workshop!!!:::
 
2 x inner tubes from toilet rolls
a pair of goggles or glasses
a sense of sonic adventure
 
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.)
