We learned to work around the 'audio brains' of a circuit, normally identified by a small black blob or spider-looking thing! We are told that these are the scientific terms for such items.
Due to the short amount of time and lack of resources today we never got much in the way of solid hacks happening, but the three of us got a clear idea of how to go around it. It's up to us to familiarise ourselves with the 'art' in our own time.
We plan to work on some individual hacks and show each other our work next wednesday. Once we start getting some circuit-bent instruments we can begin wrapping our heads around the compositional/interactive aspect of the project.
There is a lecture on hardware hacking tomorrow and a workshop on Friday, so by this time next week we should all be experts! Here's hoping...
Oh, and we never got round to taking much in the way of pics/vids bar this fuzzy snap:
It's a keyboard which Eleni's boyfriend hacked and includes contacts pins as well as a looping mechanism... very nice!
