Live Stage: DIY sound-workshop [
Munich]
Announcing DIY sound-workshop: Constructing live electronics with Jo FRGMNT Grys (de) :: March 25 - 28, 2008 :: Kunstarkaden, Sparkassenstr.3, Munich :: Registration Deadline: March 15, 2008.
The workshop is focused on the construction of sustainable, customized and networked instruments. Participants are invited to build up to three different musical devices: 1) Powerful analog Special Noise Unit (SNU), a kind of chaos - musical - noise - generator - touch - oscillator-instrument. (It’s even produces FM radio); 2) Simple step-sequencer SEQ8 to give electricity certain patterns; and 3) Mini-FM-transmitter to conquer your proximity.
A radio & noise installation will be available to present the above mentioned electronics and to show how building-blocks can be arranged in unusual ways, that we get an alive instrument, which has many possibilities to create unpredictable moments of sound, requiring adjustments from the player, but at the same time having a life of its own.
Additionally (if there is time and interest): A simple production technique of electronic boards with laser printer will be shown and practiced ~ Some neu(ronal) surprises and electronic DIY tricks (incl. plans) for building most electronic circuits found on the Internet will be explored.
Expected outcome: Live sound arrangement with all workshop participants making use of newly-constructed electronic instruments.
Participants profile: Electronic artists and every one who is interested in pushing beyond the usual boundaries of controlling electronics.
Registration: On-line registration (Max 12 participants)
Language: German/English
Fees:
Electronic parts - 30 euro. (to be paid directly to Jo FRGMNT Grys)
Workshop fee - 20 euro/15 euro (students)
About Jo FRGMNT Grys: Studied chemistry, philosophy, mineralogy etc at the Justus-Liebig-University of Giessen then more and more turned towards arts using scientifically influenced thinking to investigate formation of structure from noise & order, from error & law and feedback as his main artistic themes. Grys is working with videos, electronics, computers, body & brain. Performs with noisiV (self-made electronics and video manipulations), TOB (transmitters and self-made electronics). Grys makes electronic installations & international workshops since 2004. Lives in Berlin. The band.
