Creative procrastination from making music by making things to make music with

创造性拖延:为了做音乐,转而去制作能用来做音乐的工具

Jason H. J. Lim is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer who turned his focus toward creative instrument design primarilly within the Eurorack modular format. For 10 years he has led Instruō towards becoming the creative collective it is today.

This workshop will explore a brief history of Instruō’s module design, progression of design philosophies both in solo and collaborative contexts, and how much commonality there is between hardware design and music composition.

From the beginning of Instruō a very prominent focus was placed on “process”. Jason documented the design and production stages of his modules and presented these to a similar level as the products themselves. Of the current range of available Instruō modules there are many that have never been seen outwith the workshop. Some are “failed” experiments, many are proofs of concept that lead towards their final forms, and several are still works in progress!

Let’s follow the design chronology of Instruō modules and talk about how to procrastinate from making music, by making things to make music with – but then continuing to do that more because it’s also really fun.

Jason H. J. Lim 是一位将工作重心转向乐器创意设计,尤其是 Eurorack 模块化系统领域的多乐器演奏家、作曲家兼制作人。十年来,他带领 Instruō 发展成为充满创意的团队。

本次工作坊将回顾 Instruō 模块设计的简要历程,探讨其设计理念在独立创作与合作项目中的演变,并分析硬件设计与音乐创作之间存在的共通之处。

自创立之初,Instruō 就格外重视「过程」。Jason 记录了模块从设计到生产的各个阶段,并像展示最终产品那样展示这些过程。在 Instruō 现有的模块系列中,有许多原型从未在工作室之外公开亮相过:有些是「失败」的实验,许多是通往最终形态的概念验证,还有一些至今仍在开发完善中!

让我们沿着 Instruō 模块的设计时间线,聊聊如何通过制作「用于创作音乐的工具」来「拖延」实际的音乐创作——但随后又因为这过程实在太有趣,而忍不住继续投入其中。
