Impromptu Improvisation
I will be performing with several others at this Rachel Austin event in Auntie Annies in Belfast this weekend. I am playing with Connor Barry and others to provide improvised incidental music sporadically throughout the evening. There will be many hacked and bent instruments in my bag with which I hope to create aural delight! Here’s the tickets page and Facebook event. Coffee Tin Synth
A video I came across from Fran who attended my ‘Hacking Musical Interactions‘ workshop at NK in Berlin in June. It’s a demo of the Coffee Tin synth he made at the workshop with one of my Atari-Noise Boards. You can enjoy some of his compositional work via his Soundcloud: Atari Punk Console -> Atari-Noise Board Kits For Sale
A small, simple synth / noise-maker kit capable of a wide range of sounds. My modified version of the original Atari Punk Console, modified for greater aural pleasure. The ~2watt amp on this board gives it plenty of power to drive fairly large speakers. It is a great board for DIY synths and electronic instrument building and is capable of a lot more with some creative hacking! These kits are for sale and ready to go. They are very easy to solder together and start making sounds with. Go to the Atari-Noise Board Kit page for full details and to buy it now. Atari-Noise Cube
A new instrument – Atari-Noise Cube. A simple cube design, two-control noise box containing my Atari-Noise board. See the instrument page for full details, pictures and video. Atari-Noise Boards
Just received the first set of my Atari-Noise synths – A cheap & simple noisemaker I designed based on the Atari Punk Console, my version is a noisy squarewave oscillator controlled by two pots (frequency / pulse width). The added on-board (~2w) amplifier is pretty loud and can drive a fairly large speaker! I will be using these for future ‘hacking musical interactions’ workshops and also making them available for other noisemaking people to purchase as kits or ready made synths. More info / pictures / sounds coming shortly! Hacking Musical Interactions @ ISSTC, Limerick
I will be presenting the ‘Hacking Musical Interactions’ workshop at the ISSTC conference hosted at the University of Limerick on the 10 & 11th of August. It will be a slightly shortened workshop to fit the 3 hour schedule, but expect sufficient amounts of hacking and noise-making! Registration for the conference & workshop is available here. 20 Working Days @ Loophole, BerlinMyself and Adnan Marquez-Borbon performing at the S.Low Projekt 2011 weekend at Loophole, Neukölln, Berlin on 9th July 2011.

I will be performing with 20 Working Days (myself & Adnan Marquez-Borbon) at a S.LOW in Motion event being held at Loophole in Berlin on 09/07/11. Expect noisy, hacked and bent electronic instruments! Hacking Musical Interactions in Berlin
I will be running a hacking & interaction design workshop with Adnan Marquez-Borbon at NK in Berlin on Saturday the 9th of July. If you are in the area, sign up and come and build some noise-makers with us!
“This hands-on workshop introduces and explores key concepts of interaction design for electronic musical interactions and live musical performance. Participants will be introduced to interaction design concepts and practices as we explore them through hands-on physical sketching with simple electronic instrument circuitry, circuit bending and hardware hacking. The workshop will culminate in a specific design challenge for the participants, challenging them to create a new performance- ready circuit bent musical instrument within detailed constraints.” Tape Box 2
A new sound device. A further development of the previous small-box tape loop player & sampler. See the instrument page for full details, pictures and video. |
