About the workshop: The workshop will consist of making a sound synthesizer, using the integrated circuits 4093 and 4040. Put together, both chips can generate wonderful sounds. You can also customize the sound by replacing some components with available household materials, such as metals, graphite pencils, vegetables, nails, water and even your own body. The idea is to build a unique musical instrument to serve your individual creative needs. At the end of the workshop, you will be a part of a fascinating noise orchestra. Learn basics of electronics, oscillators and proto-board welding.
