Workshops

Delay selber bauen - Flipfloater (Sa 31.08)

Unter der Anleitung des Basler Soundtüftlers Flipfloater kann ein Delay Effektmodul basierend auf dem PT2399 Chip gelötet werden. Neben dem üblichen Delay Effekt ermöglicht die Schaltung dank 4 Circuit Bendings auch abgefahrene Klangräume. Der Workshop geht 2-3h,Kosten: CHF 50 pro Teilnehmer

Flüssigwaschmittel selber herstellen - Claudia Krummenacher

Claudia hat sich die letzten zwei Jahre mit Haushaltschemie beschäftigt, und bietet einen kleinen Workshop zum Thema Flüssigwaschmittel selber herstellen.

PewPew game consoles - Christian Walther and Radomir Dopieralski (Sa 31.08 & So 01.09)

Did you always want to make a computer game, but could never get through those complex tutorials? Now is your chance to become a full-stack game developer. We will take you through the process step by step, starting with constructing your game console, up to a finished game. Just bring your laptop with a micro-USB cable. (It will also help if you install the Mu editor from http://codewith.mu/.) We welcome all participants of at least 12 years of age, no experience with Python or electronics required.

The workshop can take from 2 to 4 hours, costs CHF 10.-

Zeichen-Roboter bauen - Daniel Reichmuth (Sa 31.08)

T-Shirts selber drucken - Christoph Kummer (Sa 31.08 & So 01.09)

Bring dein T-Shirt mit um es mit Siebdruck zu bedrucken (Druckfrarbe schwarz)

Pulse & Patterns - Christian Faubel & Ralf Schreiber (So 01.09)

A workshop where participants will build small electro-mechanical solo drum machines from single DC motors and small circuit boards. The workshop will experiment with different kinds of sounding materials (metal pieces, stones, springs, paper, etc), where the machines will oscillate freely and develop their own individual sound quality. Once built the machines will be used to explore fundamental musical structures.

the workshops takes ca. 2 - 2 1/2h, costs for material: 15 CHF

Exhibition

Musikautomatika - eine partizipative, kinetische Klanginstallation – Faubel / Schreiber

Kleine Motoren, die schlagende oder rotierende Bewegungen generieren, werden in ein Gerüst aus dünnen Bambusstangen integriert und mit Kontaktmikrofonen und kleinen Lautsprechern verstärkt. Das Ergebnis ist eine recht komplexe, expansive Struktur, die als autonome Mehrkanal-Klanginstallation präsentiert wird. Die Installation kann von den Besuchern aktiv bespielt werden und zudem mit den Maschinen, welche im Workshops Pulse & Patterns enstehen erweitert werden.

Performances (Sa 31.8.)

Analogue utopia – It almost sounds like music – Faubel

Music with autonomous machines and electronic circuits (small motors, tiny striking mechanisms, minimal robots) that function according to their very own logic. It is an exploration into the tonality of material and the materiality of sound. It's about the process of how sound is created from minute movement and interaction. We want to give voices to the things and we do so by careful manipulation of the machines and their surroundings. This process is made transparent by placing the machines on an overhead projector, so that their movements and our hands interacting with them cast a shadow play, making visible the process of creating sounds. Similar to live coding it is our performance with these machines, our improvisation with them that matters. It is a live experimentation in search for arising patterns, musical structures and minimal techno we like to dance to.

Andreas Oskar Hirsch (Carbophone) featuring Urban Bieri (modular ebass), Kent Clelland (live sampler) and Oliver Jäggi (organ drum)

Andreas Oskar Hirsch is a Cologne based musician, visual artist and inventor of electroacoustic instruments. Among others, he performs with the Electric Palm Leaf or the Carbophone, a kind of complex super-kalimba. Both lend themselves to warm downbeat rhythms and odd tonalities. In combination with a bunch of effect pedals Hirsch creates a space somewhere between playful leftfield electronics and freestyle gamelan. Together with Patricia Koellges he runs makiphon, a label for experimental music which also features his latest album Early Carbophonics. For Flick the World he plays the "Schwanden Sessions" together with musicians from the SGMK community.
