Where

Downtown Library: Secret Lab

Description

Hang out in the Secret Lab at the Ann Arbor District Library, have a snack, and build a Single-Chip Space Invader Synth with author David Erik Nelson!

The synth relies on many of the same sound-generation techniques used in old-school console and arcade games, for authentic lo-fi chiptune grooves. You'll be able to use the notes it generates for funky sound effects, and to play your own tunes at home. The Single-Chip Space Invader Synth is one of many DIY instruments in David's latest book, Junkyard Jam Band.

A full kit will be provided and the author will guide you along the way.

You can make good noise out of bits of wood and wire, plastic and steel. When you build your own instruments, creating your own sound comes naturally." - Junkyard Jam Band book by David Erik Nelson
