​The theme of tonight's women & non-binary hack night is female audio Pioneers particularly women who invented electronics and electric guitar equipment.

​A lot of work by female musicians modifying their equipment hasn't been well publicized! While Laurie Spiegel is now getting her due, metal queen Lita Ford modded her father's reel to reel tape machine to use as an amp for her electric guitar. Hear her talk about it in this NAMM video.

​

​We'd love to hear more "hidden" stories - there are probably a lot of female musicians doing lots of inventing that we haven't heard about!

​PureData

​We'll be playing her music, discussing her accomplishments during hack night, and also introducing folks to open-source software PureData.

​​Hack on Analog Audio

​​​We have analog audio superheroes at our event, and you can fiddle with the equipment and learn about sound engineering!

​​​AI open source project

​​​We will focus on multimodal generative artificial intelligence models and create small code samples inspired by female pioneers of electronic and analog music!

​​​Hack on What you Want

​​​​​​Since this is mostly screen-free and face to face, this frees up the meeting for everyone to work on whatever they want and participate at will!

​​​​​​The SudoRoom has hardware of all types: analog audio, soldering tools, a lasercutter, and more! So this isn't just a software workshop.
