A.S.M.O. live at Stench VI pt.3

excerpt via pineapster:
"ASMO (Anti Social Musik Order) is the ‘circuit bending’ project of artist and musician Stu Smith. He works with self made instruments custom built from the modified circuits of electronic toys, keyboards and other discarded gadgets. His work explores the sonic landscape of ‘circuit bent’ instruments and their integration into existing modular synthesizer systems. He writes and performs with the groups Threep and The Buoys and has performed at concerts and festivals across the UK, Europe and New York."

In this workshop we build the Bumsss! It is a simple drum-synthesizer like from the old days. It has a built in contact microphone. If you hit the box, a decay-envelope is triggered that controls the amp and pitch of the machine. Or you trigger it by external devices such as modular synths. An LFO offers triangle or square waves for modulating the pitch. Besides the oscillator you can use a noise for creating sounds. There are some more interesting features, you'll be surprised. Please bring your soldering iron! It's good to have a little soldering experience, but if not you'll learn it here.

The fee of 75 Euro has to be paid cash and includes all material like cirquit board, parts and casing exept poti-knobs.

"Interval Studies is a formal look at musical intervals as a dense continuum of microtonal pitch, expressed en masse as discrete 1-bit frequencies distributed across hundreds of individual speakers.

Some fun trivia: For those wondering what Muff Wiggler is, Muff's Forum has become THE forum for boutique modular gear. Users and manufacturers are active on the forum and many manufactures have their own sub-forums. It is run by Mike McGrath and originally started as a blog back on November 23rd of 2006. The first time I announced Muff Wiggler was back on December 4th, 2006 in this post. Prior to that I put up two posts featuring Mike, one on July 10th, 2006 and one on July 18th, 2006. Note in the modular world there are boutique manufacturers that sell pre-assembled modules, some that sell both modules and kits, and then those that design modules and provide schematics and instructions for the DIY crowd. I think the crown for the longest/oldest running company would be PAiA, who just started selling module kits again. Note Muff's forum has a DIY section, however the bulk of DIY seems to be on the electro-music.com forums along with probably the biggest Clavia Nord Modular forum.

Hands Off has quickly grown into a thousand-hand, all embracing, theremin convergence of players, builders, and aficionados from across Great Britain and the globe.

This year will feature performances by
Lydia Kavina,
who will also give a talk and master class,
and ThereminWorld Memebers(!):
Chris Conway,
Alexander Thomas,
and Beat Frequency,
aka Gordon Charlton, founder-director-publicist-&-handyman of Hands Off.

There will be a
Theremin Cello duet
too, and a Grand Finale of twenty thereminists!

A public interactive theremin installation will up up for the week.
The installation uses 16 custom built theremins by
Fred Mundell of
Fundamental Designs Ltd.

I couldn't possibly thank and congratulate GordonC (and Mrs. GordonC too I'm sure!) enough for Hands Off. It has become a major and inspiring theremin event and has been the most consistent and fastest growing festival for the theremin.

This crash course covers the basics of electronics, the tools of circuit exploration, and the techniques of finishing a project. No previous electronics experienced required!"

OFFF Festival in Paris
June 24, 25, 26, 2010 Roth Mobot is being flown to Paris to perform on the frontline of digital arts events at La Grande Halle de La Villette for the OFFF Festival. OFFF has become a synonym for modernity, both aesthetic and technological. OFFF is spreading the work of a generation of creators that are breaking all kinds of limits - focusing on those separating the commercial arena from the worlds of art and design. Wish us luck on getting our suitcases full of hacked electronics onto the plane. Any advice would be appreciated.

The Weekly eSymposium
EVERY Saturday, 12:00 noon - 3:00 PM
Lizard's Liquid Lounge, 3058 W Irving Park Rd, (773) 463-7599
To nurture the Midwest experimental electronics community, we host a free weekly "eSymposium," an interactive lecture series where participants are both teachers and students. There's soldering, tinkering, Q&A, show-&-tell, bending circuits, hacking toys, recycling discarded electronics and batteries, and Chicago's only weekly Circuit Bent Open Mic.

Be sure to see the link above for more and full details.
