Neanderthal Electronics workshop presentation by students of the hfg Offenbach, Elektronische Medien – …plus Macumbista live analog electronics set

Neanderthal Electronics
The Neanderthal Electronics workshop involves 8-10 people with no previous background in electronics. They are shown how to use simple objects from our modern environment (resistors, capacitors, transistors, LEDs, integrated circuit chips…) to design and build their own personal, customized primitive noise synthesizers. Each is a tiny world of its own, using primitive analog computers in combination with feedback, sensors and audio inputs to create a unique sound. Even from the same plan, no two are alike!
Participants are encouraged to use found materials for the construction of their personal instrument, with an emphasis on discovering creative and physical methods of controlling them. The workshop concludes with a group performance and an invitation to the audience to experiment with each of the instruments which have been created.
