If you’re looking for something fun to do this Thursday night, be sure to check this out…
7:30 – 10:30 pm & Every 3rd Thursday!
3rd Ward, Etsy.com, Make Magazine, and createdigitalmusic.com present Handmade Music Night.
Part party, part mixer, part Science Fair, and part performance, this is an informal chance for geeksters and the geek-curious to come together, relax, and discover new sounds. The evening is a gathering of inventors of circuit-bent toys, custom software and patches, interactive digital & visual instruments, custom electronics, electricity-powered noisemakers, DIY robots and new acoustic instruments. And it’s open to everyone from hard-core hackers & newcomers to music lovers who want to learn about the DIY music scene.
Handmade Music this month features a screening of music coverage from Make Magazine’s new Make TV, live-projected audiovisuals, and lots of surprises with new DIY software and hardware projects.
FREE Pabst Blue Ribbon (while it lasts) and special thanks goes out to XLR8R Magazine.
Mouse & the Billionaire’s Gesture-Controller Exploration 2 makes music by dipping, swinging, swaying, tilting, and turning a beautiful, crafted-wood object with feedback from custom, graphical software.www.mouseandthebillionaire.com/gce/
Brian Kerr’s wireless gestural controller is a handheld object that manipulates live sound. Like Mouse & the Billionaire, Brian also backs up his invention with research into musical expression. vimeo.com/briankerr
