Waterfoot Wakes | Optical Theremin Workshop
This event has been archived!

Ever wanted to create your own unique sounds? This workshop, guided by artist Tom Richards offers a fun introduction to electronic music creation, no prior experience or soldering skills required. We'll guide you through building a simple synthesizer inspired by the Theremin, a classic instrument controlled by hand movements. However, our version uses light! At the end of the workshop, you'll be able to take your new DIY instrument home with you.
