Make: Electronic Music from Scratch Synopsis

Don't just play music, make music!

Make: Electronic Music from Scratch is a crash course in the joys of musical circuitry that teaches makers to become musicians, and musicians to become makers. Written for total beginners, this guide uses more than 40 hands-on experiments and projects to build whimsical, wild, and just plain weird gizmos, including:

  • Fruit-controlled oscillators
  • Analog filters (in many flavors)
  • Sequencers that compose for themselves
  • Talkboxes for robot impersonation
  • Plate reverbs for cave impersonation
  • Automatic harmonizing doohickeys
  • Light-sensitive modulators
  • Amplifiers to annoy your neighbors
  • Drum machines to get you dancing
  • . . . and so much more!


Be warned: This is not a boring, inaccessible engineering book for academics! Make: Electronic Music from Scratch is a fun, humorous introduction to music for even the biggest electrophobes that teaches how to build real, usable instruments. With more than 400 full-color images and step-by-step instructions, this is the music book that you've always wanted.

Prepare to discover sounds you never knew existed!
