Come build the Anglerfish drone synth in a workshop lead by the designer of the synth, Bridget Ferrill. She’ll guide you through the whole assembly and soldering process, plus explain how the circuit works. Anglerfish is a 6 square oscillator noise and dronemaker for experimental and drony sounds. Use the light controls with the built-in LED or use an external torch to modulate the pitch.
This DIY Kit is suitable for beginner solderers. Anglerfish is the first self-released DIY Kit by Common Ground, designed by Bridget Ferrill.
You'll get the synth kit and everything you need to build it at EMS (soldering irons, wire cutters, solder).

Rikhardur H. Fridriksson began his career as a rock musician, and later studied composition in Reykjavík, New York, Siena and The Hague.
His teachers included Atli Heimir Sveinsson, Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson, Elias Tanenbaum, Franco Donatoni and Clarence Barlow.
Additionally he has degrees as an historian from University of Iceland and as a classical guitarist from Sigursveinn D. Kristinsson school of music in Reykjavík.

His works have been performed and broadcast in many countries. He has received working grants from the Icelandic government,
the DV cultural prize (Iceland), and a prize at the Bourges sound art competition (France). He lives in Reykjavik, composing and teaching electronic music.
He is co-director of the Kopavogur Computer Music Centre, besides teaching  Composition and Computer Music at Iceland Academy of the
Arts and Reykjavik College of Music.

His music falls into two general categories; he either makes pure electro-acoustic music, working mostly with natural sounds and their movement in space,
or he does live improvisations, playing electric guitar processed through live electronics. In that field he either appears alone or with the Icelandic Sound Company.
 
Apart from that he can be caught playing with punk rock bands in various Reykjavik clubs.

Hoonmin Park is a composer and drummer, and is studying electro-acoustic music composition at Korea National University of Arts. He is working on creating an ideal structure as a sound, exploring various works and techniques between macro and micro, changing present and past. The structure has some images, and sometimes the external structure is emphasized or the internal images are highlighted depending on the work. He wants to create works that logical methods of creation underlie on it’s basis but can be sensuous and intuitive.

Hyewon Choi has been a percussionist in the most active Korean classical music groups such as ‘Kinetic Korean classical music group YIEN’, ‘Korean musical group Taru’, ‘Jeong Ga Ak Hoe’, and ‘Kwon Song Hee Pansori epic chant Lab’ for the past 10 years.

Although she started as a traditional musician and has been active in Korean classical music groups, she has continuously tried to find a meeting point between traditional-, modern-, electronic- and world music.

More than just being a performer playing Korean traditional and Western percussion instruments and various special instruments, she is driven to learn about the techniques and methodology of electronic music and sound programming. This wide interest also made her a DJ and sound designer.

Lately, she has been successfuly expanding her musical career as a music director in various dance and theater pieces, making use of her sound range from traditional to electronic.

She has now become a multi-producer working with sound designing, producing, composing, and arranging. 

Hyewon Choi's residency is kindly made possible by 
the Arts Council Korea, ARKO.
