is a group that takes a  non-conventional  approach to the engineering
space by facilitating  workshops  in which participants collaborate to
hack  hardware,  software,  and  e-waste  for the  purpose of creating 
instruments, combating planned obsolescence, and building community.
 
                
                
Using a dirt-cheap, crappy, pre-built LM386
audio amplifier chip, you can make a weird,
crunchy, "playable" distortion amp. By 
touching the exposed amplifier circuit with
two fingers you add resistance with your
skin, overdriving the circuit and output
signal causing the chip to self-oscillate
which gives the sound a distinctly distorted
quality. Get creative with the ryhthms of
touch to "play" the distorion while some- 
one else plays the instrument.
