In this workshop, the participants will each build a LITE2SOUND PX. 
LITE2SOUND is a portable sensing device that explores the hidden sounds of 
light. Not a synthesizer at all, it is more like a microphone. LITE2SOUND 
reveals unusual sounds by esponding to rapid but invisible changes in 
brightness.

This workshop will start with a short demonstration and some introductory 
words on the subject of electro-magnetism. Participants will then wind their 
own electromagnetic coils, to be used as part of an experimental loudspeaker 
improvised from a found object resonator supplied by the participant.
