<br>SUMMER SKILLSHARE SERIES!!!<br><br>Saturday the 17th, 2pm - MAKE YOUR OWN CONTACT MIC<br>DESCRIPTION: Wanna make your own contact mic? In this workshop, you'll solder and build your own contact microphone, a small flat disc of a microphone that responds to vibrations, and is easy to make and use. We'll check out some artists that use contact mics in their sound art and performance work, discuss the basic mechanics of microphones and electronics, and experiment with live sound once our mics are soldered up. No experience necessary. If you have access to a soldering iron, please bring it. There will be soldering irons provided if you don't have one.<br>

Working predominantly with sound, video, animation, drawing, electronics, and installation, her practice examines notions of translation, memory, migration, and the body. Having completed a college degree in Audio Recording and working in the field of sound, she is now completing her degree in Intermedia Arts at Concordia.<br>

DESCRIPTION: Turn children's toys into instruments for sound art and NOIZZZE a la circuit bending! We will playfully go step by step in dissecting toys, figuring out the range of their sounds, and soldering (i.e. fusing together) connections on their circuit boards, to create (and maybe record!) whacky noise jams. You will also learn how to make an output jack to amp the crap out of it!! Noise for everyone!! Bring a battery operate toy if you wish. We can not guarantee it will ever return to it's original<br>
and less-interesting form.<br>BIO: Meagan Wohlberg loves noise and circuit bending because there is no way you can really go wrong. It is totally fun and participatory and everyone should do it. She wishes everything in life was like that because, except for brain surgery and space missions, most things could be.<br>
