Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking by Nicolas Collins

Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking by Nicolas Collins (Routledge / 2009)

'Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking provides a long-needed, practical, and engaging introduction to the craft of making―as well as creatively cannibalizing―electronic circuits for artistic purposes. With a sense of adventure and no prior knowledge, the reader can subvert the intentions designed into devices such as radios and toys to discover a new sonic world. You will also learn how to make contact microphones, pickups for electromagnetic fields, oscillators, distortion boxes, mixers, and unusual signal processors cheaply and quickly. At a time when computers dominate music production, this book offers a rare glimpse into the core technology of early live electronic music, as well as more recent developments at the hands of emerging artists..' – From dustjacket.
