The Atari Punk Console Workshop
The APC is one of the most simple sound-producing designs, with a very low part count. The circuit uses 2 timers in one chip, the NE556, which is in fact a double 555 timer. The 555 timer is one of the most widely used chips in the world.
The Atari Punk console is an astable square wave oscillator driving a monostable oscillator that creates a single (square) pulse. There are two controls, one for the frequency of the oscillator and one for the width of the pulse. The controls are usually potentiometers but the circuit can also be controlled by light, temperature, pressure etc. by replacing a potentiometer with a suitable sensor (e.g., photo resistor for light sensitivity).
The circuit is a simple DIY noisemaker circuit that is relatively inexpensive and easy to build, easily adaptable and is configurable in many ways. Its flexibility has led to wide scale popularity among electronics enthusiasts. It is a great circuit for beginners to build.
The characteristic 'stepped tone' output of the square wave when turning the pots is reminiscent of the synthetic sound of old game-computer sounds, hence the name Atari Punk Console.
Participants in the workshop can choose a kit that is free-standing, with a 9-volts battery and a speaker, boxed or not, or a euro-rack version with suitable power-adapter and line-out. It can be built in a single or double version.

Performances 21:00 TO 23:55
The common factor for this evenings performances is is that all artists will be improvising their soundscapes. Come on down and be surprised by these performers!
Elfferich & Moll (Delft)
A new Dutch piano duo who only play their own compositions which makes them unique in the wold of classical music. Their music is hypnotizing and fascinating because of the shifting rhythms. Elfferichs inspiration comes from acts like Tangerine Dream, Robert Fripp en minimal composers like Glass and Reich. Elfferich & Moll both play on a digital piano accompanied by video images.
Zen.SE (Brussels)
Experimental modular improv from our reoccurring friend from Brussels. Bjorn always surprises us with a different setup and execution of ideas.
Mono-Poly (Rotterdam)
Keep on your dancing shoes! Mr Noodlebar will be doing something completely different this edition.
Panenkov (Tilburg)
A piece is never mine, it is ours. In that moment." Panenkov creates fully improvised atmospheric landscapes using mostly guitar pedals and other analog equipment, patching everything together as if it were racks of a modular synth. Every Panenkov-show is a unique experience on its own, as he tries to pick up on the acoustics of a venue, as well as the general mood of the audience, letting both factors influence the composition and overall sound.
