These meetups focus on hardware and DIY electronics for musical applications. They are informal and loosely structured, and we encourage those with ongoing projects or a backlog of devices to build to come down and work on them, as well as those with little to no experience to come down to learn and get involved.

Harvester is a hand-held, portable live sampler that lets you make music with everyday sounds. With the instrument, you are able to capture sounds around you (your voice, another musical instrument, environmental noises etc.). The instrument provides an interface that lets you play back the sampled sound based around a musical, pentatonic scale. This allows […]

Workshop 1: Synthesis Techniques (May 30th) Workshop 2: Time, structures and pattern (June 19th) Workshop 3: […]
Over the course of 2 days participants will learn about the curious and inspiring behaviour of electricity while building a variety of interactive sound circuits. Prior experience with electronics is very helpful but is not necessary. This workshop will utilise a circuit building tool designed by Edwards called the OMSynth which allows users to start […]
Following his workshop over the weekend on creative electronics and synth design, we’re hosting a discussion with Casper Electronics (Peter Edwards), founder and synth engineer at Bastl Instruments. Edwards will talk about the hows and whys of synth design, with a focus on the personal and emotional aspects of a traditionally technical medium. Doors for […]
Internal motivations is a workshop for new imaginations of internal martial arts through the perspective of sound. In this exercise we will explore different Taoist concepts in relation to sound and energy. Internal martial arts is a seemingly passive but internally vigorous form of martial arts that stresses on breathing, energy circulation, external and internal […]
Sheryl Cheung works with sound, installation and performance to explore a material concept of life. Perceiving life as a force, a mobility that drives our innate persistence to live, Sheryl is especially interested in the potential of vulnerable, ambiguous, and internal efforts that lead us to deeper awareness of the nature of being. Through ongoing […]
Our TidalCycles meetups are a series of informal, participatory meetups focusing on Alex McLean’s open source, accessible livecoding platform. They’re very loosely structured, with occasional short talks and performances. This meetup is for any self identifying women and nonbinary people, and will be hosted by Lucy Cheesman. Lucy Cheesman makes music under the name Heavy […]
In this workshop, the artist will share brief research on the formation of the inferno and its connection to society and sound/music culture. Following this, participants will attempt to produce the sound of the inferno, building a sculpture with a glass jar and several layers of copper speakers, designed with different patterns to represent the […]
