Analogue electronics workshop – Introduction to making music with a soldering iron.

The Auricle will be hosting a hands-on introduction to analogue electronics over three evenings, at 7pm on Wednesday the 27th of May, the 3rd of June, and the 10th of June.

Learn the basic principles of analogue electronics, learn how to solder and build a unique little touch sensitive mini-synth for making wonderful and weird electronic sounds. Nicolas Woollaston is currently exhibiting his noise-making creations at the Auricle. Join him for three fun evenings of learning, making, doing and playing – and come away with your very own noise-making circuit.

Booking in advance is essential and numbers are strictly limited. The cost of materials will be $35.

Please book via: rbkeys@auricle.co.nz

Those that have soldering irons of their own, please notify us when you book so we can gauge the numbers of soldering irons we have relative to participants.

Emerging from a work/sleep cocoon, Nigel Wright is finally ready to play some new material and test PA’s.

With support from:

Nigel Wright has been creating audio for over 10 years and is known for his spacious, expansive sound pieces. Dense layers of tonal drones underpin the field recordings, guitar, and tape loops that Wright uses as source material for his laptop-based live performances.
“Wright works with big, weighty chunks of sound… He uses laptop to weather and rust his guitars strings, ricocheting hefty down-strummed chords through cavernous banks of effects and then watching the overtones drift in the distance, like trailing headlights captured on polaroids.” (Jon Dale – The Wire)
