Waterfoot Wakes | Optical Theremin Workshop

Waterfoot Wakes | Optical Theremin Workshop
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.

Workshop Leader, Tom Richards is an artist, musician, DJ, researcher and instrument designer, who has built his own idiosyncratic modular electronic music system, with which he creates slowly evolving and heavily textured polyrhythmic improvisations.

2 hour workshop
