Hardware Hacking Workshop with Nicolas Collins

Composer, musician and professor Nicolas Collins leads a workshop in “hardware hacking.” Assuming no technical background whatsoever, these workshops guide the participants through a series of sound-producing electronic construction projects, from making simple contact microphones, through “bending” toys, to making oscillators and other circuits from scratch. The curriculum is drawn from Collins’ book, Handmade Electronic Music—The Art of Hardware Hacking .
