Featured in MAKE Volume 22, musician Tristan Shone will talk about how he builds his "heavy metal" Dub Machines, with microcontrollers like the Arduino. Shone says he likes "a certain drone-y sound." Come learn about his sounds and see him perform.

Drone/Dub Machines are custom made sound machines fabricated from raw materials and utilizing open source microcontrollers (Arduino/MITs #6). The performances are drone/doom oriented and involve me navigating these machines as in a control room. There are no sequences and I play everything live with each limb and orifice moving and controlling different components. (Performance + Demo Table)
I am a mechanical engineer (RPI, BS), sculptor (UCSD, MFA), musician (as Author & Punisher) and creator of the Drone & Dub Machines (industrial sound controllers). I also work at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR.ucsd.edu) at UCSD as a mechanical engineer.
