October 5, 2005
The nine million and second dorkbot-nyc meeting took place on Wednesday, October 5th.
It featured the lovely and talented:
Jeff Snyder: Acoustic sounds, electronic means
Inspired by his interest in acoustic sound generated by electronic means, Jeff Snyder is currently designing several new installation-based instruments that explore this concept. Snyder will present two of his works-in-progress: Percussion, which involves sine waves driving the resonant frequencies of cymbals; and Organ, which is an attempt to harness and control microphone feedback within a flute-like resonant space.
