Heads-up Bostonites, a cool DIY audio arts festival is headed your way: Megapolis, April 24-26.
"Artists, documentarians, musicians, and fans come together to share secrets on producing and presenting challenging audio works online, on-air, and on the stage."
Tons of cool sessions are planned: learn about field recording, circuit bending, illegal art, activist films, sound art and collage, audio production, radio wizardry, electro-acoustic instrument building, and more! Folks from the Third Coast Audio Festival, free103point9, WZBC, WYPR, WNYC, Mecca Normal, MIT, and tons of other groups and working artists will be representing.
On top of all this wonderment, Jason Sigal and I will make a mind-blowing presentation about the Free Music Archive on Sat Apr 25, 11:30am-1pm (@ Public Radio Exchange, 3rd Floor, 50 Church St., Cambridge UPDATE: venue change.... Nelson Mandela room at the Democracy Center, 45 Mt. Auburn St).
Hope to see you there!
If anyone is looking for inspiration for DIY Audio in general, My site (Elliott Sound Products) has over 130 high quality complete projects. These can be used exactly as shown, or adapted to your needs.
Unlike many of the other DIY sites, every project will work as described if built according to the description. PCBs are available for some of the most popular projects, and these are all very high quality at low cost.
Hope this helps someone. See http://sound.westhost.com/ or http://sound.au.com
Cheers, Rod
