Sonic Hackers

A semi-organised, semi-regular group of London Hackspace members who enjoy, dabble or are intrigued in doing interesting things with sound.

Events

Next meeting: Sunday March 6.

Approximately monthly on weekends.

Last gathering was on Sunday 30th Jan and involved some PureData discussion & demonstration, a bit of analogue noodling, controlling a Doepfer Dark Energy from Pd which was modulated by OSC messages sent over wi-fi from Junxion interpreting WiiMote motions (Rube Goldberg eat your ears out), and misc chat.

  • Anthony - analogue & digital hardware, (semi-)modular madness, software implementations of DSP algorithms, ChucK hacks, music tech industry jadeness, cable wrangling, occasional DJ & techno/ambient/experimental producer, ranting about digital aliasing and zipper noise, music technology & techno musicology - http://lowbroweye.com
  • PhilJones - unusual software instruments / music toys / http://www.gbloink.com

Possible Projects

  • Building a Leslie cabinet
  • Circuit bending something
  • Collaborating on some cool musical software
