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.
