DIY Kraakdoos / Crackle Box

I've mentioned the Crackle Box before, but I just realized I never put up a post exclusively on it and the home page for it. Title link takes you there.
"The Kraakdoos, or Crackle Box, was designed by Michel Waisvisz of STEIM in the seventies, the main concept being that the human body becomes a vital part of the electronics (or the other way around) while playing it. It is a touch and pressure sensitive device that squeeks and makes a lot of noise when played with."

There are samples on site.

    I made my girlfriend one for valentine's day- it's awesome to have the sort of girlfriend who goes "ooh- is it a cracklebox?!" when you give her a box of wires on valentine's.
