A series of weekly working groups and workshops at _____-micro_research [Berlin]; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware. Calendar: July 18th 2PM: Neanderthal Vocal Computer with Derek Holzer July 25th 2PM: Schmelzolan Robots with Ralf Schreiber and Christian Faubel August 10-16th: sommercamp [world as representation//workshops] http://www.sommercampworkstation.de/?page_id=10 Forthcoming matter: software radio, hydrogen line, micro-cuisine, kitchen sink chemistry, Kicad, openEEG, fiction generation, thoughtography, org-mode ... contact if you're interested in leading [un]-related workshop. //<----------------------------------------------- July 18th 2PM: Neanderthal Vocal Computer with Derek Holzer This workshop combines three of the basic building blocks of the longer Neanderthal Electronics workshop (TL072 op-amp comparator, 4093 gated oscillator & LM386 audio amplifier) to create a very crude, caveman-style analog computer for the processing of vocal input through a microphone. Participants will learn some analog and digital electronics basics to create an experimental prototype on the solderless breadboard, then recreate the circuit with permanent connections. They are also expected to bring their own box, case or other object in which to construct the final circuit. The last part of the workshop will touch on how this circuit can be expanded later on to include all kinds of mixers, modulators, distortions and filters through the use of other cheap, easily obtained parts. For more information and videos from the Neanderthal Electronics workshops, see: http://www.vimeo.com/album/64426 About the Instructor Derek Holzer (1972) is an American sound artist living in Berlin, whose current interests include DIY analog electronics, sound art, field recording and the meeting points of electroacoustic, noise, improv and heavy metal music. He has played live experimental sound as Macumbista or Derek Holzer--as well as taught workshops in Pure Data and electronics--across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. http://www.myspace.com/macumbista http://www.vimeo.com/macumbista Cost: €10 per participant (this includes all parts and food) Please email m...@1010.co.uk to reserve a place (strictly limited) ---_______ Background: Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism.
