Build Your Own Synthesizer

Isn’tses (Tim Drage and Lisa McKendrick) present a workshop where participants will experiment with unusual sound-generating circuits using breadboard and components (chips, resistors, capacitors, light sensors, knobs). 

The synth will generate a full noisy sound and can be modified to create different noises as desired. This is an opportunity to learn about electronics and gain skills in being able to build a synth, understand how components affect the circuit and gain confidence in being able to try different things out and see how they work together. 

This workshop does not require soldering and participants will take away a noise synth circuit they have built.

Breadboard and components will be provided.

Isn’tses is a collaboration between visual/electronic artist and musician Lisa McKendrick and animator and electronic artist Tim Drage. The duo perform in costumes and masks with live video projections and illuminated props, and play self-built synths, noise boxes, circuit bent toys and vocals. In 2018 they designed the Fort Processor, a psychogeographic sound art circuit created as part of Fort Process festival.
