I've always really liked nobody here
I like the idea of making similar stuff though I'm not nearly as good

We got 2nd place!
2020
We returned in 2020. This was another good year, we had a decent pace down at this point. The idea this year was to create a smoothie that is controlled by a Werkstatt. I have a lot of interest in contintuing food-based synthesis. The LFO/VCO controlled how fast each particular motor spinned and in turn how much of the particular smoothie ingredient makes it into the blender. It was all VERY DIY maybe to a fault. I had a good time make it out of cardboard and toy car motors though. A follow-up would make it out of real materials. Here's a video of our performance (thank you Sky!!). We won best performance for this year!
2019
2019 was our peak. We got 2nd place for our car synthesis device. We'd had the idea for a while, but had made some ill-fated attempts at doing the sensors ourselves. To mitigate any of our own sensor placement, we used the obd-ii port on my car to pull data from the engine. We used the speed, RPM, throttle position and the fuel trim to control the Werkstatt. The judges took a ride in my car which was 100% humorous. It sounds like this. I'd like to do this again but a granular synthesis approach.
2018
In 2018 we did not receive an honorable award for our efforts. We did make it to the final round. We created a synthesizer Kalimba by tapping into the keyboard circuit of the Werkstatt. We used the worst capacitive touch circuit imaginable. It was just a transistor where the bass was tied to each prong of the kalimba. The capacitance/voltage in the hand was enough to saturate the transistor and complete that particular key. Our circuit design was not excellent, but we did create an all analog instrument this year.
I got an honorable mention in the 2017 Moog Hackathon at Georgia Tech. We built something similar to a chapman stick and dubbed it 'Sigmoido'. It works by laying out a series of resistors to create specific resistances at each fret. When the string is pressed down, the make-shift ohmeter measures the resistance across the string and creates a particular pitch change or tone change within the Werkstatt.
2017
2017 was my first Moog Hackathon. We created an analog shruti box that was foot pedal controllable. It was clearly a first effort but was a lot of fun to build. This is was my first positive experience to music technology and I'm thankful for that.
Musician's Network
I was president of Musician's Network at Georgia Tech from 2017-2018. It was a learning experience, but also one of the most down periods of my life. I think about this period a lot. MN got into some heat over the new student center and I was a interviewed for a bit of that here. MN was a formative part of my life. I played a lot in high school, but I think this is where I really engaged with music as a community.
Radio
I used to run three shows on WREK Atlanta
I mostly just do engineering work for the station now!
WREK Atlanta is still the greatest radio station in existence
Decompositions, a modern classical show
Live at WREK, a live music show
A Bit Off Broadway, a musical theatre show
I'm occasionally on Stonehenge nowadays, but I am rarely on the radio anymore.
