WORKSHOP @ STEIM w/ Darsha Hewitt

Composing with Components, Scoring with Schematics, Sonifying Square Waves

2-day workshop exploring approaches to composition through circuits and
schematics -  a really fun introduction to DIY electronics through sound.

This rigorous hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of electronics
through sound. Participants will learn to interpret electronic diagrams and
build sound generating circuitry. Electronic components, hand-drawn
schematics and audible oscillations will be used to compose, score and
perform experimental electronic music.

INCASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW… sometimes when you build circuits they don’t always
work the first (or second or third) time you build them. This is a NORMAL
and IMPORTANT part of the process! Sometimes a malfunctioning circuit can
offer way more interesting results than what was originally intended. This
workshop helps you develop solid troubleshooting techniques and shows you
how to improvise with technical imperfections.

You will draw schematic based scores – so be sure to bring pens, pencils,
and a notebook! The workshop concludes with an informal public presentation
were participants will build and improvise with live circuits, perform
their compositions and show off their drawings. A prize will be given to
the participant with the most fancy schematics.

This workshop favours an intuitive approach to DIY electronics through
free-form experimentation and pattern recognition as opposed to intensive
theory based instruction and memorization.
