Dr Nexus and Jo Frgmnt. Jo using a scissor as a dremel to make a hole.. always using the wrong tools for concrete actions…
Jo arrived to the workshop as a fresh air information dealer for us! we spent hours talking about chemistry, electronics, live in its way… impressionant!
Final construction of the synth. Done by Pin and Iratxe.
As Dr Nexus said: it is a BitchBlenda construction!!
Analogic synthesizers are fun. But imagine if you could program each synth and made them sound and act as you feel like!
AnalGital synths have a lot of possibilities, adding filters like envelopes, delays, decays and others.
With Analog-digital synthesizers we can mostly do what we want to. Adding some LDR (so sound is controlled by light), some Pressure Sensors or Ribbon sensors.
We will understand electronic basis and electronic basic components. we will also understand what is arduino, how it works and its community around.
We will learn how to program in arduino. And how to build a nice sound and noise arduino synthesizer.
Using Arduino Pro Mini, we will be able to build a Arduino based on granular synthesis.
you can hear here and example about the sounds that this synthesizer can make
Needs for the workshop: if possible bring your electronic hardware tools, your laptop and soldering iron, in case you have an Arduino bring it as well l!
After we will make a jam session together with all the new synthesizers!!
It will be a 6 hours workshop, however we can go further if necessary. the cost of the workshop is 50€.
Please, send us an email here to confirm if you are coming!!! pechblenda@riseup.net
but if you cannot confirm, and you want to come in the last minute you can come as well!!!! please send this information to all your friends!!!
thanks to tinkerit for show us how to build one by ourselves.
<> Pechblenda is a TranshackFeminist Bio-electro-chemical Laboratory <> established in Calafou <>. We work with free hardware and free software and mess around with electronic circuits, circuit bending, repairing devices, noise concerts, experimentation and development, giving workshops and doing tutorials DIY since 2 years ago. We are involved in many different projects and right now we are experimenting with DIY analog-digital synthesizers, between others. http://pechblenda.hotglue.me/?transhackfeminismo. We also work with gender issues, and we understand our bodies as another code to be hacked.
The nucleus of Pechblenda is made of 3 heads, 6 hands, 6 ears and 3 tongues. Pin, Julito & Klau. Each of us have different trajectories but always surrounded by the same ideals.

…no se si puedo decir que hemos vuelto de nuestro viaje intersicial por los espectros iluminados y oscurecidos con el devaneo de nuestros deseos porque la sensación que tengo desde hace meses es que seguimos juntas viajando todos estos inmesos espectros que a menudo nos conectan con el cosmos ! !
la pasada noche 777 fue para nosotras un momento de abertura noise, un desplazamiento de la tecnología que durante meses engendramos en pechblenda hacia el exterior;
dispusimos nuestros cuerpos y tecnologías en el suelo de la nave quemada y comenzamos 777 ritual noise, nuestras compañeras de vida en Calafou asistieron con nosotras a 120min de experiementación colectiva…
comenzamos con una cuña sonora que preparamos esa misma tarde y nos fuimos fundiendo entre cables, instrumentos analógikos y reverberaciones sónicas .
… no voy a explicar aquí lo que fue la perfo porque el lugar para ello es el momento en que performamos;
solo decir que la performance no es una representación nada que refleja nada; para nosotras es un ritual de transición hacia otros estados, nuevos pasajes donde la materia no es más un reflejo sino una difracción,,, una nueva materia, un devenir constante de la energía … interferencias que devienen nuevas formas de entendernos, escucharnos y amarnos ….
con mucho amor ácido queridas pechblendianas ! ! !
LABORATORI INTERDISCIPLINAR D'EXPERIMENTACIÓ BIO-ELECTRO-QUÍMICA. Hardlab TransHackFeminista [Laboratori de Hardware Lliure]
Yann Keller Synth with an LDR after the potentiometer.
Here having some problems while uploading the code… our faces and bodies full given to the debuggggg
Sucking and playing with the Synth..
Our Lover: Arduino Pro Mini
Debugging with Kasia. Finally it worked! Potentiometers always make us pass through some bad emotions and sensations… :SSS
Final workshop with Dr Nexus, Yann Keller and Jo Frgmnt.
