As VAEMI, we recently held our SLOS workshop with students of the Music Department at Yıldız Technical University Faculty of Art and Design. With the support of Özgür Atmaca and Arda Eden, it was a productive and inspiring meeting. The electronics-focused workshop infrastructure within the department is truly valuable and rare in Turkey. Many thanks to everyone involved. / https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xVV735TvFs8
