- **Event Description**: Join this electronic music and sound art workshop which explores DIY synthesis using a mini microprocessor as part of the week of soundAbout this EventThis electronic music and sound art workshop explores DIY synthesis using a mini microprocessor as critical reflection on music, technology and society. John Richards, known under his artistic name Dirty Electronics, will lead a workshop that will focus on the idea of critical sound synthesis that follows in the critical design and critical making line of thought. The critical synthesis workshop explores a DIY version of a digital synthesiser with opportunities to experiment with different sounds that can be made, from gritty digital sounds and extreme noise to pure tones. This workshop works with sound at the fundamental level through practical experiments and assembly. A communal process of making and musicking will be explored simultaneously, often leading to improbable and ridiculous collisions of electronic sound and the technological unknown.John Richards is best known for his work as Dirty Electronics that focuses on shared experiences, social interaction and critical making. He is concerned with the performance of large-group electronic music and DIY electronics, and he has come to consider these activities as a holistic action. It is a fluid, live practice associated with the ideas of workshop-installation and performance-installation. His work pushes the boundaries between music, performance art, electronics, and graphic design and is trans-disciplinary as well as having a socio-political dimension. He has also written numerous texts on DIY practices, performance of electronic music, and object-orientated and material approaches in relation to sound art. Dirty Electronics has been commissioned to create sound devices, performances and installations for various arts organisations and festivals and has released a series of hand-held synths on Mute Records.No prior knowledge needed.
