Date: Sunday March 6, Time:2-5pm

                    $10 ea. for additional kit.
No class size limit.


Join the members of the circuit-bent rock band CMKT 4 for a workshop on building your very own EconoMIC Bottle Cap Contact Microphone (from Creme DeMentia).  CMKT4 will show you how to solder up a piezo-electric pickup and house it sturdily in a recycled bottle-cap housing of their own design!  Stick around for a performance from the band as the tool-handle dip on your freshly built contact microphone dries.  Additional take-home kits and other surprises will be available, come build a mic and see and hear some of the circuit-bent instruments you've read about on www.GetLofi.com up close.  Bring your own instruments and objects to amplify!

The workshop is $15, additional kits will be on sale for $10, and we'll have fully assembled mics in several varieties for sale as well.  We'll have some other fun goodies also.  Interested onlookers are encouraged to donate if they don't want to build a kit.

CMKT 4 are Austin Cliffe, Zach Adams, and Jeff Cox. The circuit-bent / rock trio has made it their mission to leave no hackerspace behind on their way to their next Maker Faire;  they want to bring new devices, sounds, and ideas to your town.  They are constantly working to make new and interesting devices and music. 

You can find them at http://www.facebook.com/cmkt4, CMKT 4 will soon be joining Australian circuit-benders ToyDeath for a tour of the Midwest, see www.getlofi.com/toydeath for details.

 

Please bring your fee and kit money on the day of the event.

Organizer

i3 Detroit

i3 Detroit is a DIY collective in Ferndale, with tools and resources to facilitate a wide variety of projects. The name stands for "Imagine, Innovate, and Inspire".

Supported by its members but open to guests as well, i3 Detroit's facility hosts workshops and classes as often as possible. Led by volunteer instructors (mostly members), these are usually free, but may require a materials fee for participation.

When there's no class happening (and sometimes when there is!), you'll usually find members in the space, soldering, sewing, welding, sculpting, programming, woodworking, or just hanging out.

Founded in 2009, i3 Detroit has about 70 members and funds its operation mostly through member dues. Donations from students and guests are always appreciated, and have the potential to substantially increase our resources!
