Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking provides a long-needed, practical, and engaging introduction to the craft of making―as well as creatively cannibalizing―electronic circuits for artistic purposes. With a sense of adventure and no prior knowledge, the reader can subvert the intentions designed into devices such as radios and toys to discover a new sonic world. You will also learn how to make contact microphones, pickups for electromagnetic fields, oscillators, distortion boxes, mixers, and unusual signal processors cheaply and quickly. At a time when computers dominate music production, this book offers a rare glimpse into the core technology of early live electronic music, as well as more recent developments at the hands of emerging artists.
This revised and expanded third edition has been updated throughout to reflect recent developments in technology and DIY approaches. New to this edition are chapters contributed by a diverse group of practitioners, addressing the latest developments in technology and creative trends, as well as an extensive companion website that provides media examples, tutorials, and further reading. This edition features:
Over 50 new hands-on projects.New chapters and features on topics including soft circuitry, video hacking, neural networks, radio transmitters, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, data hacking, printing your own circuit boards, and the international DIY communityA new companion website at www.HandmadeElectronicMusic.com, containing video tutorials, video clips, audio tracks, resource files, and additional chapters with deeper dives into technical concepts and hardware hacking scenes around the world
With a hands-on, experimental spirit, Nicolas Collins demystifies the process of crafting your own instruments and enables musicians, composers, artists, and anyone interested in music technology to draw on the creative potential of hardware hacking.

Clear and useful
This is proving to be a very useful resource for learning about circuits that make sound.

Misleading incoherent gibberish
A lot of incoherent gibberish. I think that this book is just advertisements for other books and websites.

maybe not the best, but still useful
Much of this information can be found online, but this book makes a good primer to the subject.The writing is a bit unconventional for a text book, but for the most part its alright.

For tone deaf nerds.
I wouldn’t trash this sad little compendium completely because there is potential here for truly creative and talented people. But My Gawd! The YouTube examples are dreary, hopeless, and dreadful! Nothing here resembles music. It seems that the author of the book and his miserable cohorts actually despise anything truly melodic. It all amounts to nothing more than a noisy, raspy, soul sucking, black hole of doom. But maybe you and I can make something illuminating and enlightening out of it all? That’s the challenge!

Cool projects
Interesting book on the journey to making noise with circuits. Only complaint is that I wish the projects were organized by type, so you could skips chapters with jobs youâre less interested in.

This book is a wonderful depository of ideas. Ideal for the novice. All you need is a good soldering iron. I make machines which need their sounds amplified and processed, this book has been and will continue to be a great resource.
