CONGRATULATIONS!

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

The concert was great, and I got a lot of good feedback from people in the audience. Thanks to all of you!

Here’s my recordings of three of the four performances. I didn’t get Plan B because Kyle wasn’t wired up to the amplifier, but I will get Peter’s recording soon.

If you post photos on flickr, please use the tags “handmademusic” and “misterresistor“. I’ll post mine soon.

I encourage you to bring your instruments (the ones you made, or any others) on Friday so we can say goodbye to the semester with a loud noise. It’s not required, though.

I can come into the DT lab Tuesday and Thursday between 4 and 9pm to help you finish up your instruments – but only if you email me to let me know when you will be around. Everything has to be finished on Friday!

Don’t forget to bring some cheap shirts for printing on Friday! Actually, we can stencil on anything: shirts, bags, posters, your dog. So bring stuff to print on. Bring fabric paints and printmaking rollers if you have them. (I only have black and blue paint right now.) Spray paint might work too.

Here’s the stencil I made.

CONCERT UPDATE!

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

It’s taking forever to get all the details worked out! But here’s the latest:

We’re still at The Openhouse at 201 Mulberry St. on Sunday December 16th.

The event is from 2-5pm and you will be on stage at 4pm. The rest of the time will be party and show-and-tell like the previous Handmade Music Nights. You don’t have to be there at 2 but I encourage you to come early to show off your instruments to everyone. You MUST be there by 3pm – I will be taking attendance.

Please spread the word!

Concert update

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Our final concert is going to be on Sunday December 16th. It’ll be a joint event with Create Digital Music and Etsy Labs — people will be invited to bring their own handmade music gadgets to show off, but Mister Resistor will be the main event. It looks like the concert will probably be at The Openhouse on Mulberry Street, SOHO.

We’ll use our remaining class time to finish up our instruments, plan the concert, and practice! Don’t forget to update the blog with your progress.

This one is the best suited to most of us in Mr Resistor class….

In short:

· A MIDI pick

· Mystery controllers from LEMURplex/LEMURbots

· Theremin-playing robots

· Generative Max music

· Video/gesture-controlled performances

· Surprises, as always

· Anyone is welcome to bring their own projects (software or hardware, finished, in progress, bent, or broken!), or just hang out and ask makers questions and have a good time

· For the first time, we’ll have Web-based participation via createdigitalmusic.com (videos and photos, as we recently did with a circuit bending challenge)
