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 little knowledge, and a sense of adventure, an artist can subvert the intentions designed into devices such as radios or toys to discover all sorts of possible alternative sounds. The audio CD, featuring tracks by artists David Behrman, Robert Poss (Band of Susans), Yasunao Tone, and others, brings to life the many innovative sounds that electronic devices can produce.
For students of electronic music — and anyone who wants to get their hands onto and into the world of electronic devices — Handmade Electronic Music stands as a unique, fun, and easy-to-use guide to expanding creative horizons.
