What happens when you take a legendary reggae sound effect, crack it open, and rebuild it from scratch? Join us as we explore the history, circuits, and culture of the dub siren—one of the most playful noisemakers in music.

Discover the history and sound of the dub siren—an iconic DIY synth from Jamaican sound system culture. In this first episode, we trace its journey from reggae and dub to UK jungle and rave, demo two classic circuit designs, and run early oscillator + filter tests on the oscilloscope.

This project is part of MIT’s Playful Audio initiative, blending music history, analog electronics, and hands‑on experimentation.
