CMJ 10/22 @ Vaudeville Park

That's me playing with Joey Johnson aka Space Pimp on synth, and Dave Berger on drums. It was a fantastic night of music with Richard Bennett and Monocle, Dead Leaf Echo, and Erik Fitzgerald.

Here are some of my latest circuits/noise-makers

This Domo-Kun circuit is a NAND Gate four-oscillator sound maker. It has two different types of pots and a photoresistor. I cover the screen with my blinking bicycle light to stimulate the photoresisting oscillator for cool rhythmic effects.





























































The Tea forte' is a 3-oscillator circuit. It's is a hex inverter with two photoresistors & one pot, hooked up through diodes. I get fun ringmod sounds, and sometimes eerie human vocal qualities. Oh, I almost forgot, the pot is also linked to a pair of electrodes for touch sensitivity.


Videos coming soon.....

Ekona Jatta, master Akonting player from southern Senegal

If you take a close look at Ekona's right hand, it's so similar to the right hand clawhammer/frailing style in Old-Time music. Incredible!
