This year, Rewire Festival offers a programme of three very interesting workshops during the festival:

Loos: Make an interactive musical instrument using Arduino
In this workshop Kacper Ziemianin will introduce the participants to the basics of working with Arduino / Genuino micro controller, interfacing it with a computer software in order to generate, control and manipulate sound. We will use open source hardware and software (Arduino / pure data) to create a simple sound control patch using buttons, switches, potentiometers and sensors. At the end of the workshop we will present the results as a group performance. NOTE: All participants of the arduino workshop are required to bring a laptop with installed Arduino IDE and PureData, both of which are available for Windws and Mac computers and are free.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith: Buchla demonstration
Synthesizer musician and composter Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, who also plays the festival on Friday will present a masterclass on her Buchla Modular synthesizer. During the masterclass, Smith will present a hands-on demonstration of Buchla synthesis composition. She will perform a breakdown of a few songs and talk through her process followed by answering questions of the audience.

Nicolas Becker: The art of sound design
One of the most progressive sound practitioners working today, Nicolas Becker works across multiple art forms, combining his skills as foley artist, sound designer and composer. Working with leading filmmakers such as Danny Boyle and Roman Polanski, his many credits include Gravity, Ex Machina, Wuthering Heights. This workshop is a rare opportunity to gain insight into Becker’s unique working methods and multi-disciplinary approach, and learn about designing sound across a wide array of film and arts projects. Illustrated with clips, Becker will share details of his practice – devising a bespoke process to create original and distinctive soundscapes for each project – and explain the reasoning behind his artistic approach.
