Build your own Light-Theremin with Moldover on Nov 8th!
by [foulab] @ 2016-11-07 10:00:00 -0500 EST



Come build your own Light-Theremin with Moldover on November 8th @ 18:30

In this basic soldering workshop, Moldover will take you through the steps to build your own Light-Theremin CD case. Even if you’ve never soldered before, this workshop will give you the confidence in two hours. If you do have experience you’ll learn how to solder better, and walk away with a fun and unique instrument, plus a copy of Moldover’s album.

No experience required

No equipment required: soldering stations & Light Theremin kits provided

This is an all ages, hands-on workshop.

Cost: $40 for kit/materials
Can’t afford a kit, but seriously dedicated to learning? Talk to us!
Space is limited, please come early.

After the workshop Moldover will give a presentation on the design of The Light-Theremin CD Case, and his other circuit-board artworks.

Approximately 2 hours for the workshop, another 45 minutes for the presentation.

About the artist
“A musician at heart, inventor born of curiosity, and innovator by necessity, I believe the world calls him the ‘Godfather of Controllerism’ for damned good reasons”. -John Tackett, Crowd Wire

Historically there are only a handful of artists who have pushed the limits both with their music and with the instruments of its creation. What Bach was to the keyboard, what Hendrix was to the guitar, this is what Moldover is to the controller. Disillusioned with “press play DJs”, fans from all walks are drawn to Moldover shows, eager to witness electronic music’s return to virtuosity, improvisation, and emotional authenticity. Dig deeper into Moldover’s work and you’ll uncover a subversive cultural icon who has redefined physical media with his Instrument-Albums, revolutionized musical collaboration with his custom Jamboxes, and is inspiring an entire generation of forward thinking music-makers by openly sharing his methods and madness.

SensorTag WorkShop
by [tailor_dresden] @ 2016-02-26 17:31:00 -0500 EST



IoT is one of the catchy technologies of this year, but it’s not perfect. Synchronizing with third parties and sharing very useful data with any marketing company doesn’t appeal to everyone. Luckily, a parallell industry of DIY IoT devices is running smoothly, and we’d like to help you explore it. This work shop features the latest TI-SensorTag. Workshop fees include one of these impressive boards. The first project we’ll be doing with this board is a weather station. Pair the weather station over BluetoothLE with your iPhone or android device and get local readouts of air pressure, humidity and temperature. Future workshops using the same device are in the works, so get a head start!

WHEN:March 26th, 10AM onwards, until you have a weather station
