As with any established genre, the results are often completely predictable, and therefore quite boring.<\/p>\n<p>But some of us, deep in our wild hearts, still long for the Stone Age simplicity of pure noise!<\/p>\n<p>This 5 day workshop is designed for 8-10 people, possibly with a background in sound, but with no previous electronics experience. They are shown how to use simple objects from our modern environment (resistors, capacitors, transistors, LEDs, integrated circuit chips&#8230;) to design and build their own personal, customized primitive noise synthesizers. Each is a tiny world of its own, using primitive analog computers in combination with feedback, sensors and audio inputs to create a unique sound. Even from the same plan, no two are alike!<\/p>\n<p>Participants are encouraged to use found materials for the construction of their personal instrument, with an emphasis on discovering creative and physical methods of controlling the them. The workshop concludes with a group performance and an invitation to the audience to experiment with each of the instruments which have been created.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/3164972\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/3164972\">Copenhagen Noise Workshop<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/macumbista\">macumbista<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PARTICIPANT VIDEOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"400\" height=\"320\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/oTlme6ZBN0A?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/oTlme6ZBN0A?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>Neanderthal Electronics: Kajonimba (Electric Cajon Kalimba)<\/strong> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/wihle\">wihle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E1OUGo-uRN0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\"\/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"\/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E1OUGo-uRN0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/9196943\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/9196943\">Nizo Super 8 Analogue Noise Machine<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user1950999\">Matt Kemp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAST + UPCOMING WORKSHOPS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2012<\/p>\n<p>22-26 Oct: Det Jyske Kunstakademie, Aarhus DK<br \/>\n29 Oct &#8211; 02 Nov: Nordic Sound Art Masters, Copenhagen DK<br \/>\n05-09 Nov: Sibelius Academy, Helsinki FI<\/p>\n<p>2011<\/p>\n<p>23-27 Feb: NK Projekt, Berlin DE<br \/>\n23-28 Oct: Danish Institute for Electronic Music, Aarhus DK<\/p>\n<p>2010<\/p>\n<p>13-15 March: Ptarmigan\/Pixelache, Helsinki FI<br \/>\n12-14 June: Hochschule f\u00fcr Gestaltung, Offenbach DE<\/p>\n<p>2009<\/p>\n<p>02-06 Feb: Royal Art Academy, Copenhagen DK<br \/>\n10-14 Feb: Tartu Art Week, Tartu EE<br \/>\n20-24 Apr: Queen St. Studios, Belfast UK<br \/>\n04-09 May: eNKa, Berlin DE<br \/>\n25-29 May: Piksel\/Ny Musikk\/Lydgalleriet, Bergen NO<br \/>\n01-05 Jun: WORM, Rotterdam NL<br \/>\n18 July: Pickled Feet, Berlin DE<br \/>\n10-16 Aug: Tesla\/Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin DE<br \/>\n17-22 Aug: AVAMAA, Moks, Mooste EE<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Vtm-QCeEJE8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\"\/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"\/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Vtm-QCeEJE8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"\/><\/object><br \/>\n<strong>Neanderthal Electronics Belfast<\/strong> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/dodgystereo\">dodgy stereo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q54TFo6hMRs\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>EELI PO\u0308RISTA\u0308A\u0308 by Markus Heino, Helsinki<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neanderthal Electronics workshop, Tartu Estonia from macumbista.
