In this hands‑on workshop, participants will build Pentacchio: an electronic, open-source hardware instrument that turns a single 10‑second audio sample into a five‑note pentatonic sound device.

Using a small recorder chip, a simple amplifier, and a built‑in speaker, you’ll capture any sound you like (a clap, a string pluck, even the crack of a pistachio shell) and transform it into a lo‑fi instrument. Five buttons trigger your sample at different speeds, creating a scale that always sounds somewhat musical, no matter how strange your source.
