<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">Troy Rogers</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">Co-founder of Expressive Machines Musical Instruments (EMMI)</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">(depending on schedules, fellow EMMI co-founders Scott Barton and Steven Kemper may also present)</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6em;">Musical robotics combines many of the technical skills and interests relevant to the NYC Resistor community, including mechanical, electronic, hardware and software design, as well as musicality. In this workshop, Expressive Machines Musical Instruments (EMMI) co-founder Troy Rogers will guide participants through a hands-on workshop that will focus on various aspects of designing robotic musical instruments. Using EMMI-designed kits, participants will assemble a simple percussion robot, as well as get a chance to compose a short study for this new instrument, which will with luck result in an uninhibited robo jam session to close the workshop. In addition to the hands-on portion of the event, the presenters will discuss the history of robotic instruments as well as provide a survey of contemporary practitioners in the field. They may also discuss more advanced topics related to robotic instruments, including human-robot interaction, electroacoustic hybrid instruments, and compositional aesthetics.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">This workshop is geared towards NYC Resistor community members who have an interest in learning more about designing, building, and composing for robotic musical instruments. Basic understanding of electronics, programming, computer music, or composition may be helpful but no other specialized knowledge is needed. Participants should bring a laptop pre-loaded with Arduino IDE and software capable of generating MIDI, and may also bring instruments or found objects they would like to try automating.</SPAN></P>
<P STYLE="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">Participants will work with a preassembled electronics kit created by EMMI, which will help to minimize assembly and maximize play time for the workshop. Small screwdrivers, pliers, wire strippers, multimeters, soldering irons and other basic electronics assembly tools will be provided by NYC Resistor. </SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">Unassembled robotic electronics and actuator kits created by EMMI will be available for purchase at a discounted price ($100-350, depending on options) to workshop participants. </SPAN></P>

<P STYLE="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">Expressive Machines Musical Instruments (EMMI) is a band of sonic thrill seekers, composers who have turned to the creation of novel robotic musical instruments to achieve their musical vision. Founded in Charlottesville, VA by Troy Rogers, Scott Barton, and Steven Kemper in 2007, the group and their mechanical string, wind, and percussion instruments have turned heads and opened ears at festivals and venues throughout North America and Europe. Exploring the expanded palette of sounds offered by these </SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">new devices, the group provides audiences with a sonic and visual experience unlike any other.

For more than ten years, the predominant locus of his artistic output has been the development of robotic musical instruments and the creation of music for these devices. In this work, the compositional act begins with the conception, design, and fabrication of each new instrument, and the personality of each device becomes understood and expressed through musical play. Troy Rogers is a co-founding member of Expressive Machines Musical Instruments (EMMI). A Fulbright Fellowship in 2009-10 allowed him to spend time at the Logos Foundation in Ghent, Belgium, where he apprenticed with Godfried-Willem Raes, developed a vocal robot, and composed music for the M&M Robot Orchestra. Troy is currently based in Duluth, Minnesota, where he creates music, robotic musical instruments, and other assorted contraptions and concoctions; and, weather allowing, pushes a rickshaw of musical robots around town wearing a hazmat suit + teddy bear.</SPAN></P>

His interests include rhythm, auditory and temporal perception, musical robotics, and audio production. As a researcher, programmer, and author, he has collaborated with the Kubovy Perception Lab at U.Va. on psychological experiments involving rhythm perception. He founded and directs the Music, Perception and Robotics lab at WPI, which develops robotic musical instruments and software that enables human-robot musical interaction. He co-founded EMMI, a collective that designs, builds and performs with robotic musical instruments. He studied music and philosophy at Colgate University, received his Master of Music in Composition from the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, and completed his Ph.D. in the composition and computer technologies program at the University of Virginia. His music has been performed throughout the world including at SMC; ICMC; CMMR; NIME; and the Leeds IFIMPaC.</SPAN></P>

Class: Fire the Lazzzzor! Learn to rapid prototype using the 60 Watt Epilog Laser.

<P>These classes fill up, reserve your spot now!</P>
<P>Harness the power of an Eplilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you'll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.</P>
<P STYLE="text-align: center;"><IMG SRC="https://evbdn.eventbrite.com/s3-s3/eventlogos/6121399/wonderwheeldetail2.jpg" ALT="Laser cut boxes" WIDTH="450" HEIGHT="450"></P>
<P>In this three hour class, we'll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the "go" button on the laser. We'll cover safety, basic file preparation, and learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you'll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something slightly ambitious.  (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)</P>
<P><IMG SRC="http://herbhoover.com/newsletter_images/AstridaLazzor3.jpg" ALT="Laser Cut Designs by Astrida Valigorsky" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="200"></P>
<P>After learning the basics, each student will create a simple design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 32" x 20" so buy materials accordingly.  Keep in mind that large-scale, complex, multi-cut projects may not be appropriate for the class.<SPAN STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;">  Our goal is to teach you how to use the tool, not how to reinvent the Sistine Chapel in one afternoon.</SPAN></P>
<P><IMG SRC="http://herbhoover.com/newsletter_images/AstridaLazzor4.jpg" ALT="Laser Cut Designs by Astrida Valigorsky" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="200"></P>
<P>Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape or a free trial of Adobe Illustrator before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project.</P>
<P>This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Lunar Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Night [see calendar for times].</P>
<P>This class is taught by Astrida Valigorsky.</P>
<P>All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up.  Sorry, minors.</P>
