[ES] En una sala de Hangar Barcelona se ubica la sede de BEFACO.
BEFACO es una plataforma de filosofía copyleft que ha sido creada para dar soporte a los músicos electrónicos que deseen fabricar sus propias herramientas. Es un colectivo centrado en la difusión de la cultura “hazlo tu mismo” aplicada a las tecnologías musicales y mas concretamente, a la construcción de sintetizadores analógicos. Busca recuperar las técnicas musicales de los pioneros de la música electrónica para darles un nuevo uso desde una visión actual. Esta centrado en la recuperación y en la reinterpretación de las maquinas en las que se inspiran los modernos lenguajes de programación visual como Pure data o Max msp.
Sus actividades principales son los workshops, el diseño de sintetizadores, la construcción de artilugios sonoros por encargo y la restauración de instrumentos vintage. También cabe destacar el foro de su web como recurso técnico y para la comunidad DIY hispanohablante. Durante los últimos tres años han creado un gran número instrumentos musicales electrónicos y electromecánicos, la mayor parte de ellos documentados para su aprovechamiento por parte de la comunidad DIY.

vídeo de 2010 a titulo informativo, algunos procedimientos han evolucionado mucho... ;)
Hay dos formas de adquirir los módulos que conformaran tu instrumento: por piezas para ensamblarlo tu mism@ o comprarlo ya hecho. En el primer caso proporciona la satisfacción de haber montado tu propio instrumento y conocerlo mas profundamente, tanto para introducirte en electrónica o saber repararlo en caso de avería. Aunque nos advierten de que engancha...
Los Jueves por la tarde abren sus puertas a los "intrusos" que tengan dudas o quieran visitarles para ver como sueldan y ensamblan los módulos que les encargan de todo el mundo, teniendo numerosos pedidos de países nórdicos y Japón entre muchos otros.
Por allí se dejan caer desde músicos a ingenieros que están desarrollando sus propias maquinas como Abel, que está dando los últimos toques a su Eloquencer el cual está a punto de presentar en una feria en Berlín y ya está suscitando gran interés aun cuando está en desarrollo.
Gracias a Flavia que me atendió muy amablemente al igual que Abel, Manu y el resto de sus compañeros.

BEFACO is a copyleft philosophy platform that has been created to support electronic musicians who want to make their own tools. It is a collective focused on the dissemination of the "do it yourself" culture applied to musical technologies and more specifically, the construction of analog synthesizers. It seeks to recover the musical techniques of the pioneers of electronic music to give them a new use from a current vision. It is focused on the recovery and reinterpretation of machines that are inspired by modern visual programming languages such as Pure data or Max msp.
Theirs main activities are the workshops, the design of synthesizers, the construction of sonorous gadgets to order and the restoration of vintage instruments. During the last three years a large number of electronic and electromechanical musical instruments have been created, most of them documented for use by the DIY community.

There are two ways to acquire the modules that will make up your instrument: by pieces to assemble it yourself or buy it already made. In the first case provides the satisfaction of having assembled your own instrument and know more deeply, both to introduce you in electronics or know how to repair it in case of failure. Although we are warned that it engages ...
Thursday afternoons open their doors to the "intruders" who have doubts or want to visit them to see how they weld and assemble the modules that order them from all over the world, having numerous orders from Nordic countries and Japan among many others.
From there they are dropped from musicians to engineers who are developing their own machines like Abel, who is giving the last touches to his Eloquencer which is about to present at a fair in Berlin and is already arousing great interest even when it is in development .
Thanks to Flavia who attented me very kindly as did Abel, Manu and the rest of his companions.
