The new incarnation of Handmade Music will be causing a ruckus this evening @ 3rd Ward in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you're in the area, be sure to stop on by and check out the fruits of sound-maker labors - and if you have a project to be heard, be sure to bring it along! -

Hosted by createdigitalmusic.com with Etsy.com and Make Magazine at 3rd Ward

OPEN PARTY with DIYers
> Strange sounds!
> Workshop 7:30-8:30p with MIKE UNA - Make your own Beep-It optical Theremin, even with no prior experience

> Fab gallery space in East Williamsburg, well worth the trip

Part party, part mixer, part Science Fair, and part performance, this is an informal chance for geeksters and the geek-curious to come together, relax, and discover new sounds. The evening is a gathering of inventors of circuit-bent toys, custom software and patches, interactive digital & visual instruments, custom electronics, electricity-powered noisemakers, DIY robots and new acoustic instruments. And it’s open to everyone from hard-core hackers & newcomers to music lovers who want to learn about the DIY music scene.

Got a project in progress? Bring it along!
