Brian Alexander’s Synescope to Appear at Maker Music Festival
Have you heard about the Maker Music Festival? This year, it’s a global, online event being organized by Sherry Huss (Maker Faire co-creator) and the multi-talented maker-musician, Joe Szuecs.
Sherry tells us that she’s thrilled by the response they’ve been getting from maker-musicians around the world, so far including the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Japan, China, and Malaysia.
The live online event is scheduled for May 15th and 16th, 2021. The Call to Makers for the event is currently open (First call until April 15th, 2021).
Here is one of the artists who’ll be appearing at the event.
Brian Alexander is an artist and maker from Michigan. His project, the Synescope, is a graphic-to-audio instrument where the player paints, draws, or manipulates graphic content on a turntable platter which then moves under sensors that change the sound output to create auditory textures.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
