About the workshop
Perma-patch is a series of inspirational hardware hacks, or as Gieskes states on his webpage - hardware songs. On this workshop we will use our random inspiration and build DIY sound devices from different hardware, like computer parts or old cassette player. The result of 2-day workshop will be unique electronical instruments, which use the mechanical additions as objects to produce sound.
This workshop requires some soldering skills and some basic understanding of electronics. You can also bring your own hardware for hacking.

About the mentor
John Richards explores the idea of Dirty Electronics that focuses on shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. He is primarily concerned with the performance of large-group electronic music and DIY electronics, and the idea of creating music inside electronics. His work also pushes the boundaries between performance art, electronics, and graphic design, and is transdisciplinary, as well as having a socio-political dimension. Dirty Electronics has been commissioned to create sound devices for various arts organisations and festivals and has released a series of hand-held synths on Mute Records.
