Sound Hackers is for people interested in any kind of sound hacking at any level: guitar pedal DIYers, live coders, strange musicians, curious newbies, synth module designers, acoustic scientists, music tech lovers, and experimental instrument creators of all genres.

We welcome all sounds and any type of instrument, including analog, digital, acoustic, generative, musical, discordant, modern, ancient, scientific and mystical.

Background to the event and organizer

I'm Helen Leigh and I've been part of the DIY instrument communities in both Berlin and London. I live here in Portland now, and I wanted to start something that combines my two favourite sound hacking events in those cities: laid back chats with beers and projects on tables at a Music Tech Stammtisch in Berlin, and short, creative talks and performances at Hackoustic's bi-monthly events in London.
