On Friday, June 25, CrashSpace will be hosting Los Angeles’ first ever (as far as we know) Handmade Music event. Described by Peter Kirn (CDM) as “part party, part mixer, part Science Fair, and part performance,” Handmade Music is a place where geeky musicians (and geeks interested in music) can let loose, show off and discover new sounds, technologies, interfaces, and workflows.
This post is our call for artists. We’ve posted something similar to the mailing list, but having a publicly linkable version never hurt anyone.
So, if you design or perform with custom technologies that you’ve made (like Max patches, NoiseToys, circuit bent Speak’n'Spells, or XyloVans), we’d love to put you in the spotlight. Please email kevin at soundcyst dot com with a description of your work, pictures and/or videos, and whether it’s more of a Science Fair project or performance project (or both!).
The deadline for submissions is Thursday, June 17 at 11:59pm, so get on it! =)
While the exact schedule is still in flux, the event will start at 8pm and go until late. We’d appreciate it if all presenters and performers could commit to being there the whole night, but if that’s not possible, let us know when you email and we’ll try to work something out.
Keep on hacking!
-Kevin
MintyBoost Build Night: May 26
Posted on May 27th, 2010 by theron • Filed under Events • 1 Comment
The May kit of the month was the Adafruit MintyBoost.
It was pretty quiet, but we ended up with some working MintyBoosts.
Kelly was a solder newbie, but she got hers working right away!
We have some extra kits if you want to buy one, or we can do another build night.
Take Apart Tuesdays: May 25

So this Tuesday we got a whole set of pieces for those claw machines, joysticks, controllers, motors, claw, sidings, the whole set. It’ll keep us busy for a while and was a bit too much for one night, so we focused on what was most interesting to us.
So I, of course, headed straight for the money.
MintyBoost Build Night Wednesday 5/26
Posted on May 25th, 2010 by theron • Filed under Events • No Comments
On Wednesday 5/26, we will be having a MintyBoost kit build night.
The MintyBoost is a portable battery-powered USB power device that can be used to charge a cell phone, iPod, portable video game, Arduino, etc.
We have a bunch of kits. Come on in and build one! Don’t know how to solder? We’ll show you. We have several soldering irons, or you can bring your own if you want.
The MintyBoost is designed to fit in a Altoids gum tin, but it works in the regular mint tin as well, along with some space for a cable. We may have a few Altoids tins, but you can bring your own if you want to case it up.
Starts at 8 PM. $20 members/$30 non-members. Price includes the kit.
