looks great!
And art school you say? How did that work out? How much did you go into the theory? _________________ There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

thanks for your answers !
Well, as i'm absolutely not electronician or developer, and as i've discovered electronic by circuit bending, it's a bit hard for me to "teach".
I preffer working in an "erroristic" way ( you know, errors make you learn !).
So :
With a friend, we have developped workshop in order to let people build during a day noise boxes. During these workshops, we explain to people how to solder, how to recognize components, and how their noise boxe mainly work. We generally use our own designs even if they are sometimes thought from already existing stuff ( for example our yumyum boxe).
For this workshop, i've been invited by the art school from my city, for a 4 days workshop : I was alone with 12 students, and the idea was to let them discover CMOS components and let them build their own musical instrument.
I've written a little book, inspired by Handmade Electronic music, some knowledge from this forum, but it was mainly about the way to build an osc, and how would work each cmos component i bring to the students. No schematics except basic ones : osc, gated osc, how to mix different outputs, how to build a LM386 amp... I think that at the end of the workshop, they can build an osc, and recognise different components..
Students at first build different osc, and then i explain them how to mix these different informations with cd4040, cd4030 and cd4017.
I wanted to work also with other stuff ( 4046, 4051), but i think it was too much for just a discovering workshop.
At the end, they all have their standalone unit, and i was really happy to see how they were "inventives" : lots of different units, drone, noise, rythmic ones...
As they are in Art School ( mainly design), they all will build theri own boxe ( well i hope), and i should come back during one day in order to prepare a performance with all of them : the idea is about the way to hear each unit, and how to combine all these sounds in order to make a show.
I hope i'll can have some sonds or vids !
