Build your own electronic noise machine, Tom Bugs, UK
Build an electronic noise machine with Tom Bugs - a flying introduction to some of the easily accessible areas of DIY analogue sound circuits. We will each build a little electronic noise maker (yours to take away at the end) which gives an insight into simple sonic circuits, soldering skills, circuit bending and DIY ethos. No prior skills needed and all tools/parts provided! Tom Bugs’ work as BugBrand has given birth to an ever mutating range of handbuilt and experimental electronic audio devices that are used by musicians around the world.

Tom BugsAbout the Creator
Tom Bugs work is driven by a strong DIY ethic, taking in hand-built electronic audio devices, ever-mutating musical progressions and the creative decorations of photographic and etched artwork.
With a background in music and engineering, Tom has been working with electronics for the last few years, beginning with circuit bending and simple guitar stomp boxes and gradually sinking deep into the circuitry for work on handmade noise systems and large scale modular synths. His recent work is almost entirely with analogue electronics, with his ideas often taking existing designs, twisting them a bit and then combining and presenting them in new ways. Alongside his solo music and design projects, Tom builds devices for musicians, setting installations and collaborating in technical arts and musical projects. Tom is also part of the N.I.P. collective (UK, NL, PT).
