John-Mike will be hosting the DIY Noisemakers workshop at the Austin Public Library this Summer.
Teen Central Music Lab Presents: DIY Noisemakers
This workshop is just for 13-18 year-olds as a part of the Austin Public Library’s teen event series.
In it we’ll learn the basics of electronics and breadboarding by building a light controlled analog synthesizer with amplifier, a digital patchable synth, and a wah-wah and distortion effect circuit.
