This course will cover some basic theory of electronic principals that is essential for beginning to work with this medium. From there we will look at some of the components that make up simple circuits and that create the building blocks for more complex circuits. Students will learn some of the basic skills needed for electronic work such as soldering, breadboarding, and reading a schematic. These skills will be used to build a simple audio amplifier and experiment with different input options such as contact microphones. We will also have a look at how to get started with circuit bending and modifying existing circuits.

Bidule is a visual patching environment for digital audio workstations, developed by the Montreal-based company Plogue. It is similar to Reaktor, and cheaper and easier to use than Max/MSP. It allows users to patch together "objects" in a virtual sound studio, and the resulting patches can be used for music/sound composition or live performance.
This workshop will cover the basics of working with Bidule, including patching, routing, mixing, tone generators and sample players, different kinds of inputs and outputs (audio, MIDI, spectral), making your own objects, and using VST and AU plugins in Bidule. The workshop will be part lecture, part lab with practical examples. Those who bring their Mac or Windows laptop will receive a special demo version of Bidule. Previous sound experience is an asset
