Gnostic Rocket and The Springboard Dub

Title link takes you to Gnostic Rocket, a new blog on "Analog Synths, Circuit Bending, Music Production, Loop-Based Music and more. Brought to you by Gnostic Rocket, a Toronto-based experimental dub musician." Current post is on The Springboard Dub (pictured below) with samples. Interesting piece. I'm looking forward to seeing what else crops up. Check it out.



"This instrument is basically two cannibalized delay circuits, with bends added, built in a small piano-shaped cabinet (the unit is about 13" across, 18" high). There are springs in the cabinet where the piano keys would usually be."

Update via Doktor Future in the comments: "Hey , I listened to this guy (Gnostic Rocket) and this instrument at the Ambinet Ping in Toronto. Was pretty good. He backed it up with an electribe. It was a good set. He told me he paid a lot (can't remember exactly how much, somewhere between 2 and 4k CDN I believe) for that springie thing." Thanks Doktor.

    Thanks for the kudos doktor future. I remember meeting you at the Ambient Ping show. I actually paid just over $2K CDN for the springboard dub, but it has been worth every penny.

    And thanks for the link Matrix.
