Noise Night #6 Wrap

It turned out to be 'kit night' for Noise Night. Since it was a small group gathered this time (I blame it on the rain) we assembled some of the prototypes Jimmie has been developing and had fun with them. I built his APC kit into a container my friend Charlie gave me to use, and Jimmie worked on his 40106 break-out business card. For the latter, he played it and it was awesome -- and it needed very few parts, too.

Noise Night #5 Wrap

With Jimmie out of town, Wayne Wylupski curated Noise Night on March 12. The well-versed and inestimable Bill T. Miller, of Boston's proto-noise experience Orgy of Noise brought some of his smaller trouble makers this time. Ted Read, local musician and circuit bender joined us for the first time. It was great to have Jon Schwartz join us to find out why we do what we do. Though less play and more show-and-tell, we told a lot of our experiences building and playing and sculpting music out of sound.

Next Night: March 26. See you, and Jimmie, there!

Noise Night 4 video up

I only really shot one video this time since a few others had cameras as well. I mostly recorded parts of the jam session that took up at least the last hour or so of things. I tried to show the types of things that go on at Noise Night.


You can see in the beginning that Fred Owsley is working on a circuit bent turtle. By the end he has finished it up, and starts to play it. Wayne Wylupski also built his SX-150 Analog Synthesizer Kit at the event and started playing it as well. There were even some first time benders exploring a Speak and Read. This is why Noise Night exists.
