* <http://curiomusic.com/> Travis (recompas <http://www.recompas.com/>) will
demo and explain the ideas behind his Voice of
Saturn<http://voiceofsaturn.blogspot.com/>synthesizer system, which
has been released and supported by Scott Driscoll
of Curious Inventor <http://www.curiousinventor.com/>. Travis will also
discuss general diy practices and tips on getting into diy electronics. *

* <http://curiomusic.com/> Scott will demo a lighted touch controller called

scrubbing sampler. All the software is written in max/msp and much of the
hardware is supported by an Arduino board. *

* <http://curiomusic.com/> Bios:
Travis Thatcher has been active in the Atlanta experimental music scene
since arriving in 2000 to attend Georgia Tech. His interest in electronics
and electronic music, particularly dealing with analog synthesizers, lead
him to begin experimenting with building his own devices. *

* <http://curiomusic.com/> Scott Driscoll runs a DIY kit company called
CuriousInventor.com <http://www.curiousinventor.com/>. He went to school at
GaTech to study mechanical engineering and music technology, and has spent
his life creating an assortment of strange gadgetry, for example, a telnet
operated door opener, a robot that plays the drums with people, and a
play-station to MIDI box. *
