This workshop delves into the artistic potential of electronic components and operators - such as logic gates and capacitors - by using their conventional functions as a starting point for creative exploration. Participants will learn the basics of electronics and how to read fundamental schematics; no background knowledge in music or electronics is required. Participants will experiment with ways to intentionally introduce "new complexity" into these circuits, creating unique, unexpected outcomes that serve as the foundation for a new instrument and aesthetic. Through hands-on practice, participants will examine a curated selection of components to identify their unique artistic attributes. The workshop will culminate in a short collaborative improvisation session, using these custom-built circuits as our primary sound sources. Bring any conductive objects and an open mind.
