Hidden Village at Electrofringe

We (Hidden Village – Lauren Sutter and Seb Tomczak) were fortunate to be able to give a workshop and presentation as part of This Is Not Art (TINA) / Electrofringe festivals in Newcastle, New South Wales last fortnight.  It was a fantastic festival in which we were humbled to take part.  From the plethora of artists, writers, musicians and electronic creatives, we left with plenty of inspiration and new ideas.

Topics we covered in the workshop included:

+ Things that we did during the workshop:
- circuit bending very cheap toys using pots, LDRs, capacitors and the human body
- a basic digital logic sequencing / synthesis demo
- introduction to little sound dj, a game boy music program written by Johan Kotlinksi
- the underclocking of game boys, as presented by Gieskes and first pioneered by Kbud

Things that we spoke about during the presentation:
- Music for Two Desklamps
- Atari Christmas Lights
- Black Dog, White Dog
- Imaginary Menagerie
- 24 Points of Articulation
- The Starmaker EP
- Sega Mega Drive Interfacing
- Sync Devices
- Printer Drum Machines
- Vectrex Interfacing
- Tape-o-tron
- Sega Master System
- Toriton (Water Music)
