Macumbista Benjolins

During spring 2017 I interned with Derek Holzer. I built and developed Holzer’s Macumbista analog synthesizers and received guidance for my own projects related to sound electronics.

I got guidance for my personal projects and gained the necessary skills to create electronic instruments for my own workshops, performances and installations.
