  an bord geholt. die marienkinder glauben, dass demokratie
  oder computer von satan sind:

Handmade Electronic Music - The Art Of Hardware Hacking - a Project-Oriented Workshop with Nicolas Collins

Day 1:
Alternate microphones (contact mikes, coil pickups, speaker/headphone- as-microphone, electret binaural mikes, tape heads, etc.);
Homemade transducers form sending sound through objects for physical filtering (cheap "Rainforest");
"Victorian synthesizer" (making an oscillator with just a speaker and a battery);
"Laying of hands" on a radio circuit board (the poor man’s Cracklebox).
"Circuit Bending" (new noises from old toys).

Day 2:
Circuits from scratch: oscillators, tremolo/gate/panner, mixers.
preamp/distortion, weird analog signal processing.

The workshop ends with a performance/installation by all participants & a book release party
