control. It is designed to be made on stripboard using wire
connections as well as having a small copper etched artwork
printed circuit board as a touch control. The Dirty Electronics
Racket! epitomises a DIY spirit. Small thrifty synth, massive
sound! Requires 9v battery and external amplification. No prior
knowledge of electronics is needed.<br>
<br>
The workshop concludes with a performance by Dirty Electronics and
pieces for the Racket! For example, Hug is a piece for the Racket!
and portable amps (Dirty ‘Cardboard Box’ Amp) that are worn by
performers. A cacophony of noise is created. Other performers
stop/mute the ‘racket’ by hugging their noisy friends.<br>

Since 2003, John Richards has been exploring the idea of Dirty
Electronics that focuses on face-to-face shared experiences,
ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty
Electronics, process and performance are inseparably bound. The
‘performance’ begins on the workbench devising instruments and is
extended onto the stage through playing and exploring these
instruments.<br>
