Instruments

Circuit bending and 'dirty electronics/punktronics' instrument building is rapidly growing in popularity within electronic music circles, and many students become interested in constructing 'DIY' electronic instruments from scratch using sensors, electronics and even 'junk'. Using the Max/MSP programming environment, or programmable hardware such as Arduino circuits, students can also build entire musical interactivity environments which audiences can play as instruments.
