Making effect pedals & synths as akkusativ.cc Hosting workshops about electronics of audio at pedalmarkt.com

I'm hosting an introduction to electronics of audio workshop this weekend in Berlin Neukölln. pedalmarkt.com/collections/... No prior knowledge required. We'll cover the common building blocks of pedals and synths. From passive filters to mixers, amplifiers and distortion.

I'm trying to document my work more. Sometimes out of that process come out cool artifacts like that collection of custom stamps

I feel like RingMod* is one of the most underappreciated effects and building blocks for sounds. It's a very simple idea that leads to complex and harmonically rich sounds. Or in the context of slow signals (CV) fun juicy modulation. *aka 4Q VCA; aka Mixer in the context of RF

I'm surprised how useful and fun an iPad is for making music. Sound sources, effects, MIDI. They all interop with each other (via AUM). The limitations of a relatively small screen and large fingies inspire creative controls, so it doesn't feel or work like a conventional DAW (good thing)

Planning pedal building and electronics workshops for December atm. The first one is already next week! I'm hosting those at Pedal Markt in Berlin NK

Let me re-introduce you to the project I am actively working on: the Sitina 1, an open-source full-frame mirrorless camera! I have made a short thread on this more than a year ago, but that was incomplete and also outdated. Given there have been lot of new people coming, I decide to write a new one.

Hello everyone! My name’s Monica and I work on painfully exacting, impractical projects. One day I might even finish one. I also write notes. Here is a quick look at what I have on the table right now.

A two-page spread of illustrated notes in cursive handwriting with a piece of LED circuitry laid over the paper, featuring thin red magnet wire and decorated with silver jewelry ornament. The notes read: “For a while now, I’ve been working on the challenge of how to have sleek, solder-free mechanical connections for my projects that don’t have to be shamefully hidden away. Enclosures are all well and good, but I’m hunting the techniques that will give me a more organic form factor with, let’s call it, a jeweler’s finish.
