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.
