PRRRRRT! offer a simple synth hacking workshop where participants can assemble the Nom Nom Nand Nor 4xNAND gate synth using a 4093 chip. By adding sensors, and combining with e-textiles, this simple synth can become a light responsive musical instrument housed inside a soft toy, customised to each person's creative choices. This kind of instrument is intuitive and fun. People instantly get their heads around how to play them; young and old. For performance, despite being simple, they offer countless creative ways to make music together.

This workshops does not require prior technical experience. Our aim is to make DIY electronic music more accessible and to have fun making, leading to a group jam/performance. We will extend our collective sonic experimentations further by introducing more synths and effects pedals to process the sounds of our new instruments to create an interesting and diverse sonic tapestry. We will all gain experience with how these processes work together through collective learning, experimentation and play. This is an introductory workshop. Jamming and experimenting together offers insights into the potential of making experimental electronic music in many ways.

This might be for people who have never made anything with electronics before, or people who have never made music before, or people who have lots of experience with both but like the idea of making something simple and being part of a collective jam.
