The Tubbie Box - Circuit Bent Contraption




"Here's a new kind of box, this time made from the guts of an interactive red Teletubbie doll. The light box is originally from the doll's stomach, ripped out, rehoused, and glitched out. Lots of interesting switches that mess up the noises which already sounded weird to begin with."

Intimate Game Controller





Intimate Game Controller by Jennifer Chowdhury

"My thesis work involves building game controllers into undergarments so that games are played through players physically touching one another. The goal of this project was to research and create objects that challenge the traditional notions and orientation of video game play."

TangerVeene - multiple views similar angles



" Improvised set using a modded TV turned oscilliscope wobblevision, circuit bent drum machine Yamaha RX17, and the allmighty Juno 106. had a little fun with the editing, the light has been intensified. the TV now has a 1/4" input jack to plug in an audio source to make it react and bounce to the sound. both the TV and the drum machine are available. see the other vids for info on the drum machine, 'arix17'.

Elektor Oscillographics Demo




"This is a project from the Elektor magazine published in 1978 - its an electronic spirograph circuit that you plug into an oscilloscope to produce ever changing and immersive Lissajous figures. The outputs are dampened sinewaves - so you can actually hear these at the same time as driving the oscilloscope."

The Magnophone




































"Basically it´s a mod to a technics 1210 recordplayer.
I use old vinyls that I spray mount 2" videotape on. (couldn´t find any proper audiotape, tough it would be cool to experiment with pre-recorded material on a 2" tape sometime, imagine the sound of the pickup skidding all over the 48 tracks of a symphonic orchestra) Presently it doesn´t have any traction towards the middle of the record (no tracks on tape..) But i´m planning to build a servo mechanism that moves the tonearm. (a 12" record should take about 3 minutes of stereo music) What it does do right now is replay on three pickups at the same time, with a fourth handheld for recording (or one of the others for better tracking). I use an ordinary 2-channel dj-mixer with aux mic in for replay, and the phones out of a small alto 8-channel mixer for recording. It´s a extremely hands on and intuitive process, you record where you put the pickup, to erase hold a small magnet over the recording. Put on another layer? record again over the first without erasing. Tape echo effect? put the toneheads after each other, record in front, erase behind. Loops happen by themselves all over the place.. If you are a bit more organized make mellotron-like tracks close to eachother with the soundsource of choice and play them by moving the pickup from one to another."
