Register here, so we can estimate the foods and funny hats
Bring: a raclette oven if you have
Open call for foobar session: anything from this year you want to share. sign up for Foobar here.
Programm
7. Dezember 2024 ab 17:00 @ Bitwäscherei (3. Stock ZWZ, Neue Hard 12,8005 Zürich)
Workshops
Starvation Synth by Ralf Schreiber
Schedule: 14:00 - 17:00

Description
Ein einfacher dreistimmiger Mini-Synthesizer auf CMOS-Basis, dessen Oszillatoren untereinander mit Piezoelementen gekoppelt sind. Die Batteriespannung kann über ein Poti reduziert werden, wodurch instabile Schaltungszustände entstehen, die variable und organische Rhythmen erzeugen. Der Synth verbraucht fast keinen Strom (< 0.5mA) und kann mit schwachen, nahezu leeren Batterien betrieben werden.
A simple three-voice mini-synthesizer based on CMOS technology, whose oscillators are coupled to each other via piezo elements. The battery voltage can be reduced via a potentiometer, which creates unstable circuit states that generate variable and organic rhythms. The synth consumes almost no power (< 0.5mA) and can be operated with weak, nearly empty batteries.
Ralf Schreiber
Ralf Schreiber arbeitet mit Elektronik, mit Motoren, Mikrofonen und Kleinstlautsprechern. Damit entstehen kinetische Klang- und Lichtinstallationen sowie elektronische Musik. Seine Arbeiten haben einen spielerischen und experimentellen Ansatz. Es geht um minimale Robotik, um zufällige Prozesse und selbsterhaltende Systeme. Für die Stromversorgung kommen häufig kleine Solarzellen zum Einsatz, mit denen er niederenergetische Umwandlungsprozesse von Licht in Bewegung und Klang erforscht. Der Output seiner Installationen ist minimal, d.h. die Klänge sind sehr leise, die Bewegungen bisweilen an der Grenze der Wahrnehmung. Darüber hinaus wirbt er für freie Hardware und bietet regelmäßig Workshops mit SchaltungsKonzepten und Bauplänen seiner Arbeiten an...
Ralf Schreiber works with electronics, motors, microphones, and small speakers. This leads to kinetic sound and light installations as well as electronic music. His work takes a playful and experimental approach. It focuses on minimal robotics, random processes, and self-sustaining systems. Small solar cells are often used for power supply, which he uses to explore low-energy conversion processes of light into movement and sound. The output of his installations is minimal, meaning the sounds are very quiet, and the movements are sometimes at the edge of perception. In addition, he advocates for open hardware and regularly offers workshops with circuit concepts and blueprints of his works.

Pivophone and World Premiere of Pivosynkie Jen Morris & Michi Egger
Jen morris aka [sic] started exploring sound when video and film became a part of her visual art work. If rumors are to be believed, as of late, she can be spotted designing god knows what and messing with some rather disconcerting sounds in the intimacy of her private studio. Morris’s music is a travelogue through spontaneous landscapes and an electronic re-interpretation of the patterns and random order of organic principles. A re-indexation of the extraordinary and the mundane elements that constitute our daily lives.
Michael Egger (*1974) is a video artist, tinkerer, programmer, musician and pedagogue. He develops musical instruments that produce video instead of sound, instruments that let you manipulate images in real time and give them a musical expression. His inventions, like the synkie, videobass, udmx or the gnusb, are published under open source licenses.
Flipfloater - Claude Winterberg
FlipFloater erschliesst mit seinem Minimal DIY Electro Set eigene Klangwelten mit kratzigen Lo-Fi Sounds. Seine druckvollen Bässe und breakigen Beats geben ein solides tanzbares Fundament. Auf der Bühne benützt FlipFloater fast ausschliesslich selbst gebaute Klanggeneratoren, Synthesizer und Effektgeräte.
FlipFloater creates unique soundscapes with his minimal DIY electro setup featuring gritty lo-fi sounds. His powerful basslines and breakbeat rhythms provide a solid, danceable foundation. On stage, FlipFloater uses almost exclusively self-built sound generators, synthesizers, and effects devices.
??? Who else wants to play?
Organising Team

Simon F - Drinks
Suggestion for times on 7th:
- Morning-shopping crew goes shopping (some stuff the night before, hunt for some 50% stuff in Coop)
- Early afternoon - cooking preparation and tech setup for presentations and sound for performances. Room set up. Decorations and extra blinky shit. Anyone have any funny things to bring?
- Afternoon - early workshop/s - Ralf? And prep and chilling continue
- 5pm-official event opening. Getting a Drink and settling in.
- 6pm - welcome hello... Call to sign up for foobar.
- Eating already?
??:?? Pm - foobar starts. how long?
??? Break, clean and open room from dinner/presentations, sound tech setup.
Performances start. Dancing commences. Joy is experienced. Some cleaning also in between. Umtrunking till late/early
Sunday
Sunday- possibly other workshop? Finish Cleaning
