'''9am -1pm DIY Radio transmission 1'''
Organiser: Sally Schessell; Teacher: Sophea Lerner
Part 1: Building a mini FM transmitter
Part 2: Audio streaming and internet radio
"The material of radio is the network, not the sound" --Gregory Whitehead
These workshops will introduce you to building your own networks for radio-making.
Practical skills for DIY creative transmission practices will be shared in these workshops along with a brief overview of the history and context of these tools. There will be some reading and materials to view in advance of each workshop and preference will be given to participants committing to both parts 1 & 2. There will be a modest cost associated with materials for part 1 (around $10, tbc). Software for part 2 will be advised in advance and will free and open source. Prior experience of soldering and electronics, whilst helpful, is not necessary; we will start from scratch. Participants are encouraged to bring lunch to share after the workshops and invited to informally discuss their own transmission projects over food.
About the teacher: Sophea has 30 years experience as a creative broadcaster, technical producer and teacher of audio production, sonic arts and transmission practices. She has worked for pirate, community and public stations and pioneered distributed, participatory, open content radio that combines digital and analogue networks.
