Use a vintage test tone generator as a synth for some groovy tune-making Sample a toy sprinkler and use it to create the rhythm for a song Sampling the notes from an old piano onto cassette tape Using a collection of DIY MIDI, cassette, and contact-mic instruments for a late-night jam session. Using MIDI notes to control real-world solenoids for DIY percussion experiments Using a whisk and contact microphones to make some nice calming meditation tunes for your soul Controlling solenoids with MIDI notes from Ableton Using a DIY motorized string instrument for a song on "Under the Weight of Water" The very first "Jangle Box" - a DIY motorized string instrument made from a cigar box Hacked cassette players with speed controllers going all loony-tunes through some effects. Hacking two cassette players and cramming them into a single pitch-controller box like a lunatic. Using a hacked cassette player to add texture to a song from "Under the Weight of Water" The in-progress motorized guts of a DIY string instrument called a "Jangle Box" Re-Amping a snare drum with a mandatory strobe light accompaniment. Banging out some Tom-Tom Club inspired melodies on my little Korg Volca and Minilogue. How do metal beams sound when sampled and warped in Ableton? #sampling #ableton A stereo pair of contact mics connected to my fingers. Cool sounds ensue. 5 contacts mics attached to a glove for experimental sound recording. Using the #korg volca drum and sampler to add texture to a song #synth #electronicmusic Hello? Goodbye! Hello? Etc… #circuitbent #experimentalmusic #sounsoundsesign nds Banging on some pots n pans. A silly little hyper outburst. Using a box of random noisemakers for percussion The “Ice Cream Synth” circuit bent toy keyboard. #circuitbending #experimentalmusic Recording the sound of a dumpster for a sample pack #audioengineering #sampling Running a cassette tape through a mini brute synth Dialing Cassette players for sci-fi soundtracks #sounddesign #cassette #sounddesign Hacking a cassette player to work like a #synth Controlling the speed of a cassette player like a synth #cassettone #synth #cassette Using CV to control a tape cassette player Controlling the speed of a cassette player like a synth #sounddesign #audioengineering Rain on an amplified metal plate Sampling old films for songwriting Starting a song with an MS20 pulse Starting a song with a circuit bent toy Recording some iron bars that I found in the woods.
