Moog Hackathon 2021
This year for the Moog Hackathon — Mason, Krish, and I created the "Moog Bed." It's a bed of nails that plays a Moog Werkstatt, using a similar circuit to what Krish, Mitcham, and I used for the Kalimba in 2018. We ended up creating 6 zones: 4 discrete areas that control keyboard on Werkstatt and 2 "analog" areas that affect the rate of the VCO and the cutoff for the VCF.

Moog Hackathon 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. We won best performance for this year!
Moog Hackathon 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.
