Hardware Hacking Workshops Description



Nicolas Collins presents two hands-on workshops in Hardware Hacking. Assuming no technical background whatsoever, these workshops guide the participants through a series of sound-producing electronic construction projects, from making simple contact microphones, through "bending" toys", to making oscillators and other circuits from scratch. The workshops end with a performance/installation by all participants, and a party to celebrate the publication of the expanded second edition of his book,



Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking.



April 20: Basic Hacking



Alternate microphones (contact mikes, coil pickups, using speakers and headphone as microphones, tape heads, etc.). Homemade transducers for sending sound through objects for physical filtering (cheap "Rainforest"). "Victorian synthesizer" (making an oscillator with just a speaker and a battery). "Laying of hands" on a radio circuit board (the poor man's Cracklebox). "Circuit Bending" (new noises from old toys).



April 21: Advanced Hacking



Circuits from scratch: oscillators, tremolo/gate/panner, mixers preamp/distortion, weird analog signal processing.


New York born and raised,





Nicolas Collins studied composition with Alvin Lucier, worked for many years with David Tudor, and has collaborated with numerous musicians around the world. He lived most of the 1990s in Europe, where he was Visiting Artistic Director of Stichting STEIM (Amsterdam), and a DAAD composer-in-residence in Berlin. Since 1997 he has been editor-in-chief of the Leonardo Music Journal. He is a Professor in the Department of Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Collins has the dubious distinction of having played at both CBGBs and the Concertgebouw.
