Hybrid events are hard, even more now that they are kind of expected, especially within the academic community. This post is about my one-person hybrid setup.

I’ve been trying to take photos a bit more intentionally a regularly again, helped by a new (to me) Fujfilm X-T2 camera. I’ve ended up posting some images on pixelfed.au regularly, and hoping to put something quick up most days.

In this tutorial you’ll follow simple plans to create different electronic sounds and then use your knowledge to create a synthesiser. To create the synthesiser you’ll use NoiseCraft, a website that lets you build your own synthesiser by connecting together modules that create or modify electronic sounds.
