Linwood College Adult and Community Education in Christchurch is running an introduction to electronics night class over the next couple of terms where you get to build a simple analogue synth. Starting with an overview of basic electronics concepts and techniques, the focus will be on the practical construction of a variety of fun circuits for the making of electronic music. No previous knowledge of electronics or music is assumed.

The stuff we will be building will be simple, but fun. We're going to timewarp back to about 1977. Over two terms we will be making a small modular analogue synth. Ribbon controller, LFO, VCO, VCF, VCA. As this is an introductory course, we will be keeping things simple, but encouraging exploration and experimentation in both electronics and electronic music making.

At Linwood College, Tuesdays 6.30 – 8.30 pm starting 29 July and going through to early December.

Cost $115 per term including materials.

Please enrol by the 25th of July, by phoning 9820100 x 821 or emailing ace@linwoodcollege.school.nz
