Syntjuntan

Syntjuntan is a swedish ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders, founded in 2009 by Ida Lundén, Lise-Lotte Norelius and Ann Rosén. They have started the ensemble focusing on women's curiosity for technology and electronics and also to encourage them to build instruments and other means to facilitate their own experimentation. Syntjuntan want to help women have better self-esteem, so they can take the place needed to implement their ideas, develop their music and meet the audience. In Syntjunta, people create their own synths and at the same time they're getting over any possible fear of any technology. A "Syntjunta" is a workshop for uninitiated people that know how to sew, but have a phobia for soldering irons and everybody else that would like to sew their own synthesizer. With just a few simple components, needle and conductive thread you will learn the basics of DIY synth building.
