She makes interactive installations and live performances. Made of self built electronics\, lines of code\, and other inert matter (noise\, dust)\, her alchemic constructions often contain a live element\, something that has to happen\, yet unpredictable. \nHer live compositions transform light and other electromagnetic frequencies in sound waves through self built synthetisers and complex semi chaotic machines. The result is a hypnotic spectacle dominated by industrial and noise-techno frequencies. \nShe is currently associated with the Augmented Instruments Laboratory at Queen Mary University where she is developing electronic musical instruments within the Antennas & Electromagnetics Group. She is also the founder of Nebularosa\, a record label promoting electronic music that challenges the established modes of music production. \nhttp://xname.cc\nhttp://nebularosa.net \n\nThe Music Hackspace programme is supported using public funding by Arts Council England. \nThis activity is part of the workshop series #SoundUnfolded\, curated by Susanna Garcia. #SoundUnfolded  brings together action-based ideas about sound and explores the relationships we can establish with sound through the act of making. \n  \n  URL:https://musichackspace.org/event/making-music-with-lights-2-day-course/ LOCATION:LimeWharf\, Vyner St\, London\, E2 9DJ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://musichackspace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/phantasmata_unionchapel_A_2015.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20161129T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20161129T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T193257 CREATED:20161107T104950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161121T110116Z UID:10000607-1480442400-1480453200@musichackspace.org SUMMARY:Creative Data Club x Music Hackspace: Track. Translate. Transmit. DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 29th November 2016 (18:30 – 21:00)\nVenue: LimeWharf\, Vyner Street\, London. E2 9DJ\nProduced by: Sound and Music in partnership with Music Hackspace and Signal Noise \nTickets: Register for free \nIn November\, Music Hackspace will be hosting Creative Data Club right to the heart of LimeWharf’s cultural innovation hub in East London. \nData Gazing #2: Sound and Music is teaming up with celebrated information design agency Signal Noise for Creative Data Club Data Gazing Trilogy – a series of special future-focused data events. The event will feature a blend of creative speakers to brand new venues across the capital\, alongside a special event in Manchester\, as part of the Data Gazing Trilogy beginning this autumn. \nAs artists\, scientists\, designers and entrepreneurs\, we often find that\, even through the smallest of explorations\, there is a mass of data sitting at the very edge of our fingertips\, waiting to be used. But how do we use it? Are we open with it? Do we seek to share it with others? And if so\, what does that process of sharing involve? How do we translate and retransmit the data that we have been tracking? \nSpeakers Tim Exile\, Olivia Rzepczynski (what3words) and Alexis Kirke will be joining us to explore a breath of innovative and experimental uses of data sets; from generating sound and multimedia performance to providing an insight into better addressing the complex world in which we live today. \n#creativedata @MusicHackspace #SignalNoiseLDN \nThis is a free event\, so join us on a creative expedition of data interpretation today!  Audiences will be admitted on a first come\, first served basis. \n\nAbout Creative Data Club\nCreative Data Club is a platform for artists\, scientists\, agencies\, designers\, marketers\, programmers and even the odd data cynic to listen\, debate and be inspired by data and creativity. We bring together a handful of speakers from different backgrounds to share their thoughts and experiences\, exploring the expanding world of data with the likes of Sam Aaron\, creator of Sonic Pi\, Sandy Black from the London School of Fashion and Jay Short from design agency Inition. \nAbout Sound and Music\nSound and Music is the national charity for new music in the UK. Their mission is to maximise the opportunities for people to create and enjoy new music.

We also welcome multi-media artworks that combine aural elements with visual or haptic ones. \nThe project offers an unprecedented opportunity for sound artists  to transform the dynamic structures of consciousness into art. It also encourages scientists to experiment with innovative and novel analysis techniques with the aim to expand the way we usually look at brain wave data. The idea is to provide the creative space for the scientist\, with the unconventional input from artists\, to work in an unconstrained manner outside of the lab and to turn the results into something other than a number. To access someone’s state of consciousness with the current research methods available remains a challenge. Our pioneering project provides the opportunity to think outside of the box about how we can capture someone’s subjective\, mind-altering psychedelic journey. \nThe hackathon will be a two-day event over the weekend of the 18/19th March\, with Dr. Carhart-Harris introducing the dataset and research. The interdisciplinary 5 teams (consisting of 1 sound artist grouped with 2-4 neuroscientist/data scientists) will then spend the remainder of the time working on their responses to the brief. \n \nThis event is now fully booked.

This will be an absolute beginners workshop\, ideal for those who are interested in DIY electronics and sound but don’t know where to start. It will also be useful for those starting out with analog/modular synths and wishing to get a better understanding of the underlying principles. \nRequirements: No prior experience necessary. \nDate: 22nd and 23rd April 2017. 11am-6pm \nFull Cost: £120. \n\nThis includes the workshop + a synth kit you will build and take home. The synth is a basic mono synth incorporating a vco\, vcf\, vca\, envelope generator and a basic sequencer. The design is modular in the sense that any one part can be isolated and used in other contexts. It is designed for speed and simplicity so that it’s do-able in a weekend and it illustrates the principles and prototyping techniques covered during the weekend.\nWhen you book your place\, there is a £20 reservation fee that will be deducted during the workshop from the £120 full price. You can pay the remaining £100 on the day (cash only). Please note there will be no refunds of the reservation fee in case of cancelling / not showing.\n\nOver two days Tom will guide participants through the following: \n\n     Fundamentals of electronics. Types of components and what they do.\n     Fundamentals of sound and synthesis.\n     Different synthesiser building blocks.\n     Reading schematics.\n     Using test tools – multimeters and oscilloscopes.\n     Where to find information and buy components.\n     Prototyping simple circuits.\n     How to solder.\n     Build a simple synthesiser to take home\, with notes on how to extend its possibilities afterwards.\n\nAfter this workshop\, participants should be able to better utilise the wealth of internet resources available\, and get started in building their own electronic instruments. \nPlease note this course will not cover arduino\, code or embedded applications – just pure old-school electronics. \nTom Richards is an artist\, musician\, DJ\, researcher and instrument designer working in London UK. He has walked the line between sonic art\, sculpture and music since graduating with an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art in 2004. Richards has built his own idiosyncratic modular electronic music system\, with which he creates slowly evolving and heavily textured polyrhythmic improvisations.

Since computers are used virtually in almost any piece of recorded music in some way\, it becomes useful to have an insight into how music technology works behind the user interface or perhaps how it can be even more liberating and powerful without it. The SuperCollider programming environment provides an opportunity to explore sounds synthesis and algorithmic composition on a detailed level in real-time. The particular emphasis in this workshop will be on creating intelligent musical machines including interactive synthesizers with machine listening techniques and machine learning algorithms to aid the composition process. \nWe will be exploring 4 main topics: \n– introduction to sound synthesis including modulation\, filtering\, sampling and granular synthesis\n– making musical structures by scheduling and timing the synthesizers\n– building reactive synthesisers with triggers and machine listening\n– introduction to composition with machine learning \n[shopify embed_type=”product” shop=”musichackspace.myshopify.com” product_handle=”software-workshop-make-music-with-code-with-alo-allik-july-5″ show=”button-only”] \nFor any queries please contact workshops@stagingmhs.local \nAlo Allik is a sound artist who has performed his audiovisual works\, electroacoustic compositions\, eclectic DJ sets and live electronic music throughout the world at a number of festivals\, including Transmediale\, Piksel\, ISEA\, TodaysArt\, ShinyToys\, Pluto\, NIME\, etc.. His aesthetically and geographically restless lifestyle has enabled him to traverse a diverse range of musical worlds including DJ-ing electronic dance music\, live electronic jam sessions\, electroacoustic composition\, free improvisation and audiovisual performances. In recent years he has been actively participating in the Algorave movement developing a style he describes as noisefunk which combines traditional rhythm patterns with evolutionary synthesis algorithms.

This is a two day workshop taking place over October 7th and 8th\, 12:00-17:30. \n[shopify embed_type=”product” shop=”musichackspace.myshopify.com” product_handle=”workshop-sketching-an-interactive-musical-instrument-with-sensors-arduino-and-puredata” show=”button-only”] \nDuring the workshop you will be introduced to the basics of working with Arduino micro controller and interfacing it with a computer software in order to generate\, control and manipulate sound. We will use open source hardware and software (Arduino / pure data) to create a sound control patch using buttons\, switches\, potentiometers and sensors. We will start by looking at the basics such as setting up Arduino and running sketches\, analog vs digital pins\, Arduino programming environment\, basic electronic\, etc. From there we will get a bit more advanced by looking at the serial communication\, connecting various sensors to Arduino\, reading and remapping values from sensors\, and controlling sound parameters with them. By the end of the workshop every participant will have built a project that they can take home and develop further. \nIn the meantime we will look at some interesting examples of projects made with Arduino\,\nwhere to look for more information and where to go next. \nPlease note: All participants are required to bring a computer with installed Arduino IDE\nand PureData\, both of which are available for Windows\, Mac and Linux and are free. \nDownloads:\narduino: https://www.arduino.cc/\npuredata: http://puredata.info/downloads \n[shopify embed_type=”product” shop=”musichackspace.myshopify.com” product_handle=”workshop-sketching-an-interactive-musical-instrument-with-sensors-arduino-and-puredata” show=”button-only”] \nHere’s an example of what you can do with Arduino and Pure Data if you work hard:\n \nAnd another video example of where these experiments might take you (especially relevant 0-2:20):\nhttps://vimeo.com/31704855 URL:https://musichackspace.org/event/workshop-sketching-interactive-musical-instrument-sensors-arduino-puredata/ LOCATION:Somerset House Studios\, New Wing\, Room G16\, Entrance via Lancaster Place\, Somerset House\, London\, WC2R 1LA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://musichackspace.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/event-image-e1500890835796.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20171009T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20171009T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T193258 CREATED:20170725T092142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170915T134943Z UID:10000704-1507573800-1507582800@musichackspace.org SUMMARY:Artist Talk - Kacper Ziemianin’s LightSeq DESCRIPTION:LightSeq is an award-winning DIY instrument and performance system for live electronic music. It allows users to program any sequence of lights which are then translated into sound. This combination opens up a lot of possibilities for controlling\, structuring and interacting with sound. This instrument tries to addresses an issue of ‚liveness‘ of electronic music performance. How does the audience know if the performance is really live? How can we relate to the actions that the musicians are taking onstage? In case of ‘LighSeq’ every sound is created and manipulated by various light sources. This creates a direct link between the visual and sonic realm. Watch LightSeq in action.  \n \nDoors for this event will open at 18:30. The talk will begin at 19:00 with time for Q&A afterwards.
