Adventures and Misadventures in Musical Electronics
On Thursday, October 13, 2016 the IEEE Consultants’ Network of Northern NJ (www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will present a talk by Jim Julian.
About the Topic
Imagine being a teenager, working part time in a music store – building, repairing and modifying amplifiers, electronic effects and synthesizers – during the boom of the electronic instrument industry. “Adventures and Misadventures in Musical Electronics” will take you back to that time, from someone who lived it. The presentation includes a timeline of the gear that made rock and roll what it is today, peppered with plenty of anecdotes, plus a live electric guitar effects demonstration.
