Jonathan Watts
The Sydney Radio Orchestra Workshop
Time: 12-3pm
Location: Serial 002
The Sydney Radio Orchestra is an initiation by emerging, Sydney-based sound artist Jonathon Watts. In this workshop, build your own radio in preparation for The Sydney Radio Orchestra’s performance on Sunday 29.07.12. A live feed of the performance event will be broadcast via radio, creating a radio feedback loop – imagine the sound of 80 radios feeding back on themselves.

Christian Moraga (Cubist Effects & Instruments)
Microsynthlab
Workshop
Time: 12-3pm
Location: Serial 002
The cubist effects Microsynthlab aims to bring a unique approach to making audio instruments with basic electronics to create a collaborative audio performance. This collaboration involves each participant creating a Microsynth “module� that can generate its own audio, but also interact with each of the other modules created by the other workshop participants. Each module creates its own audio signal, however engaging other modules can create a larger instrument. The resulting sound encourages experimentation and is affected by its surrounding environment meaning each time the modules are arranged, a new sound will be created.
TIME MACHINE Laboratory
The TIME MACHINE LABORATORY is an open, working space presenting three participatory projects that develop throughout the festival by Angus Deveson, Luke Munn & Jonathan Watts. The Laboratory will also host a series of public workshops run by Jonathan Watts, Christian Moraga & Samuel Bruce.

As the owner of cubist effects and instruments, Christian Moraga makes bespoke electronic instruments, synthesizers, and circuit bends and modifies effects pedals. Utilising this toolbox of custom-made inventions, Christian also performs as Oscillateur and constructs his sound from a combination of his made/bent instruments electronic instruments and unites them with a mixture of loops – live, recorded and taped. Cubist looks at deconstructing sound to its core tones, and the ways in which these can be manipulated and experimented with to create something new.
Samuel Bruce
Ritual Solar Observance Society
Workshop
Time: 3-6pm
Location: Serial 002
In this workshop, participants shall construct the Ritual Solar Observance Apparatus; a solar powered analog synthesizer based on a hacked supermarket brand rechargeable outdoor light. Following the workshop, new initiates to the Society will have the opportunity to gather outdoors and ritually observe the setting sun by listening to their newly-made synths.
