Tranzducer.009
Friday, Sept 28
8 pm

We are pleased to invite you to Tranzducer.009, taking place this 
Friday at LEMURplex in Brooklyn. Doors open at 8 PM. $5 at the door.

This month we will be featuring three eclectic and talented acts, 
beginning with Hans Tammen's solo work for prepared guitar. No 
stranger to the Brooklyn music scene, Garth Stevenson's project Zarth 
coaxes soul from an electrified rythmn section. We'll wrap up the 
evening with selections from Jeff Thompson's Media Ecology Project. 
Certainly worth the trip, if we do say so ourselves.

Located in Brooklyn at 461 3rd Ave. between 9th and 10th Street, we 
recommend taking the F Train to 4th and 9th Street.

Tranzducer is LEMURplex's performance series curated by Jamie Allen.

Building MIDI Music & Video Controllers: Creating a Sensor Instrument 
with MidiTron
Tue-Thu, Oct 9-11, 6:30-9:30 pm
Instructor: Leif Krinkle

Imagine waving your hand and having an orchestra at your fingertips 
or tapping on a surface to explore a video archive. This is all 
possible through the use of MIDI and sensor-based technology. In 
three sessions, you will design and build a controller to create your 
art with the easy-to-use MidiTron interface (http://miditron.com).

Emphasis will be on hands-on learning. Basic electronics and 
Max/MSP/Jitter (http://cycling74.com/products/maxmsp) programming 
will also be covered. No previous knowledge of electronics, sensors 
or programming is assumed. Background information will be covered and 
the bulk of the class will be focused on building a working 
controller that you will take home and begin to create with. Examples 
of previous project ideas include a shoe that creates notes for each 
step and a glove that determines lighting cues in a theatrical 
performance. This is of interest to Artists, Musicians, Dancers, 
Actors, Engineers, Programmers, Lighting, Sound and Graphic Designers 
and others.

Cost: $495 including MidiTron & sensors

Microcontroller Progamming for Artists: Introduction to the Arduino System
Mon-Wed, Oct 1-3, 6:30-9:30 pm
Instructor: Roberto Osorio-Goenaga

Have you ever wanted to build a robot or an interactive art 
installation? Have you ever wondered how LEDs, sensors and motors 
work? Through collaborative exercises and the development of a final 
project you will learn how to program and prototype with an Arduino 
microcontroller (http://arduino.cc). This class is geared towards 
beginners, and no prior knowledge of electronics or programming is 
required.

This class will demonstrate programming and electronics basics 
through hands-on microcontroller projects. You will learn digital and 
analog input and output techniques for controlling motors and 
interpreting sensors, as well as the programming skills necessary to 
use these components effectively. We will also explore advanced 
concepts in interface, motion and display based on student interest. 
By the end of this class students will have a firm understanding of 
how microcontrollers, sensors and actuators work and how to utilize 
these tools in their own creative projects.

Cost: $375 including Arduino board & materials
