- Don't just play music, make music! Make: Electronic Music from Scratch is a crash course in the joys of musical circuitry that teaches makers to become musicians, and musicians to become makers. Written for total beginners, this guide uses more than 40 hands-on experiments and projects to build whimsical, wild, and just plain weird gizmos, including: Fruit-controlled oscillators Analog filters (in many flavors) Sequencers that compose for themselves Talkboxes for robot impersonation Plate reverbs for cave impersonation Automatic harmonizing doohickeys Light-sensitive modulators Amplifiers to annoy your neighbors Drum machines to get you dancing . . . and so much more! Be warned: This is not a boring, inaccessible engineering book for academics! Make: Electronic Music from Scratch is a fun, humorous introduction to music for even the biggest electrophobes that teaches how to build real, usable instruments. With more than 400 full-color images and step-by-step instructions, this is the music book that you've always wanted. Prepare to discover sounds you never knew existed!
