The Noisebridge Orchestra is a free and open ensemble of handmade, hand-wired, and hand-coded instruments. If you build your own instrument (of mineral, vegetable, circuitry, or code), then you've already passed the audition. No music experience required. | |||
Music performed by the Orchestra gives meaning and shape to Noise. Noise is a bridge to enlightenment: a Noisebridge. | |||
(Note: this project is about good vibes and good humor. No drama please, and let’s not take ourselves too seriously :) | |||
