Beschreibung:
"Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking provides a long-needed, practical, and engaging introduction to the craft of making--as well as creatively cannibalizing--electronic circuits for artistic purposes. With a sense of adventure and no prior knowledge, the reader can subvert the intentions designed into devices such as radios and toys to discover a new sonic world. At a time when computers dominate music production, this book offers a rare glimpse into the core technology of early live electronic music, as well as more recent developments at the hands of emerging artists. In addition to advice on hacking found electronics, the reader learns how to make contact microphones, pickups for electromagnetic fields, oscillators, distortion boxes, and unusual signal processors cheaply and quickly. This revised and expanded third edition has been update throughout to reflect new developments in technology and DIY approaches. The new edition includes: New chapters on op-amps, voltage control, transistor theory offer clear explanations of underlying theory. New chapters and features contributed by practitioners -- on topics including soft circuitry, video synthesis, printing your own circuit boards, Eurorack synthesizers, radio transmitters, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, data hacking, and the international hardware hacking scene address the latest developments in technological tools and creative trends Video tutorials, video clips, audio tracks, and links to suppliers now available on a companion website With a hands-on, experimental spirit, Nicolas Collins demystifies the process of crafting your own musical instruments and enables musicians, composers, artists, and anyone interested in music technology to draw on the creative potential of hardware hacking"--
