What
Getting familiar with modular synth w. Exploring possibilities and limitations.
introduction to UNIX, GIT, ARDUINO, WIKI.

How
learning different code definitions, commands, accessing “the machine” (laptop, synth) through a different entrance.
assembling and soldering a Meergranen modular synth from scratch or/from the provided parts/.
Introducing hands with materials and shape, functionality.
Why
in order to understand “the machine” and gain control back? training the critical inner eye and being able to recognize and propose ?
Language equals structure to me. ORIGIN of this structure interest me in order to UNDERSTAND.
In order to understand I need to know where it begins.
important to share the doubts and questions and perhaps propose rather than decide

formal language (rules, grammar, definitions) - difficult.
programming language (commands) - easy.
-Natural language
-Formal language
-Computational linguistics
-Constructed language
-Fictional language
…...... . . .
machine as a manipulator - audio-visual synthesis - using the same approach but to manipulate something different than pure sound - interested in the relationship between the machines output and the underlaying software/code as a language, structure, meanings -
Writing resulting in an action on the world
