Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking offers a unique introduction to the craft of making electronic circuits for artistic purposes. By subverting the intentions of devices like radios and toys, readers can discover a new sonic world and create their own unique sounds. This book provides a practical guide to making contact microphones, pickups, oscillators, distortion boxes, mixers, and other unusual signal processors, as well as exploring recent developments in technology and DIY approaches. The third edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in technology and creative trends, with new chapters and features on topics such as soft circuitry, video hacking, neural networks, and the international DIY community. A companion website provides media examples, tutorials, and further reading to support the book's hands-on projects. With over 50 new projects and contributions from a diverse group of practitioners, this edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in electronic music and DIY electronics.
