Saturday 26. February 2011

BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRONIC FUN-BOX: THE BENJOLIN

Location: T.B.C. [De Doelen or WORM]
Time: 1100h - appr. 1900h the workshop is ony 1 day
Price: € 150,- (material included to build your Benjolin)
Enroll: sent an email to: lukas@wormweb.nl

The Benjolin is a ‘noise box’ that is ‘bent by design’, meaning that it always has a definite amount of unpredictability, while it is still intuitive to play.

In a one-day workshop, conducted by the buddies in electronic madness, Rob Hordijk and Joker Nies, participants will build a analog sound-device, that is very different from what you usually will find with other DIY-kits.

The kit will ONLY be availiable through attending the workshop, it is not sold separately. The Benjolin DIY-kit will be easy enough to build even for a beginner in electronics. After successfully building the instrument, which is guarantied with the help of Rob and Joker, the workshop participants will take home a versatile and very unique analog synthesizer that can can influence the behavior of other voltage-controlled modules through seven different control-voltages. It is also able to receive control-voltages for filter-frequency and both of it‘s oscillators.

I highly recommend anyone who's curious about electronics to attend, even if you have no previous experience.

I think it's a bargain! You'll learn a lot about circuits, how to solder, meet cool freaks and get a great noise-maker at the end of the day.

There's also a great synth-DIY community for anyone who's just getting into this or already totally hardcore:
