Upcoming Workshops
Radio Hacking Workshop
In this workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to create a basic “circuit bending” project. The main aim of this class is to show how it’s possible to craft electronic instruments with minimal financial investment and without extensive technical expertise.
We will provide radio kits which we will then hack to create surprising sounds. In the process, you will learn skills of upcycling an old radio and some old audio electronics and turn them into a music instrument.
KOMA and Francesco will provide the kits and all necessary tools. If you have your own radio you’d like to hack, bring it along!
Acoustic Instruments in Electronic Music Workshop
From electronic to electro-acoustic music: Learn how to incorporate acoustic instruments in your electronic music production to add variety, organic touch and more means of expression.
We’ll cover various recording and amplifying techniques, creating and using samples, processing acoustic sounds with hardware and DAW and integrating them into a modular synthesizer setup.
This workshop will prove that you don’t have to be a virtuoso to be able to embrace the beauty, texture and character of traditional instruments in your music! The instruments and gear used for demonstration include a harp, KOMA Elektronik Field Kit series, Ableton Live, modular synthesizers and effect pedals.

Whether you are new to performing live, want to deepen your connection with your audience, or learn how to make your bass and kicks punch on a club sound system , this workshop will give you the concepts and practical tools you need to build and perform a killer live set.

WORKSHOPS IN BERLIN
KOMA Elektronik has always been about more than just creating awesome music instruments. At KOMA, we love to share our enthusiasm and knowledge about music electronics with our community, and facilitate possibilities for other music aficionados to exchange their experiences, tips and ideas. In the past, we ran a very successful workshop series at our shop and community space Common Ground, and we built on this tradition at our new space in Wedding.
Come and take part in one or more of our workshops! The topics range from the basics of sound synthesis and music electronics to soldering and building your own electronic music instruments and gadgets such as a radio transmitter or a KOMA Elektronik product. We will be adding more workshops as the Kommunity will grow.
We also offer workshops for companies and organizations in terms of team building and educational events. If you like to learn more, please get in touch with us directly.
