From London Hackspace Wiki
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
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.
Next gathering to be organised soon.
