Radio bending workshop with Francesco Zedde

Would you like to hack a radio to make it a synthesizer? Or maybe learn some basics of soldering and coding to make sound with a microprocessor? If you like funny sounds, and you have your idea for an instrument of the future, come and ask how I can help you with that! Bring your toys, telephones, radios and junk, and we’ll find out how to make alien music out of it

In this workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to create a basic “circuit bending” project. The main aim of this class is to show how it’s possible to craft electronic instruments with minimal financial investment and without extensive technical expertise.

We will provide radio kits which we will then hack to create surprising sounds. In the process, you will learn skills of upcycling an old radio and some old audio electronics and turn them into a music instrument.

Francesco will provide the kits and all necessary tools. If you have your own radio you’d like to hack, bring it along!
