The ICA Synth is a feedback based noise / rhythm instrument, it was commissioned and designed for a week long residency / workshop / installation / performance at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London as part of the Live Weekends : Notation and Interpretation event in February 2011.

This special edition features 2 ICA boards linked together and housed in a wooden cube. Cube is made from high quality Ash plywood with rubber feet and battery compartment in the base.

Each board features 2 oscillators, feedback, low pass filter and a sequencer/pulser, touch controls and 6.35mm jack output.

The 2 boards are linked together by a ribbon cable, the sequencer circuits interact creating more complex rhythms.

"Dirty Electronics at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), London, February 2011; and preparation for the event at One Thoresby Street, Nottingham, and P W Circuits, Leicester. Music Dirty Electronics. Video Emma Knight and Andy Hill.

The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days, workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score that will culminate in a group performance. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today’s mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.

For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the ‘instrument’‚ and then extending onto the ‘stage’."

"Dirty Electronics : Solder a Score @ ICA London 16th to 20th Feb 2011
The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score with John, culminating in a group performance and auction. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today's mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.
For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the proposed workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the 'instrument' and then extending onto the stage. The workshops will be informed by a musical score written especially for Dirty Electronics by sound artist Nicholas Bullen (founder member of Napalm Death and Scorn and a frequent collaborator with artist Mark Titchner).
