Sound Thrasher 3.0

via
this auction
"Here’s an original piece of functional art, created by New York outsider artist, Bent-It. This particular work of art is part of his Sound Thrasher series. The piece shown in the pictures is the one you will receive.

With this piece, Bent-It combines visual, audible, and physical stimulation, fostering a truly unique, thought-provoking, interactive work of art. The artist’s fundamental concept of “art creating art” is made evident, as the owner of this piece may physically control and manipulate the audio/ sound/ noise/ music/ art output.

The guts of this functional art piece include three oscillators which play with each other, causing its ¼” output to spit out droning, spaced-out, ring modish, 80’s video game-ish, psychedelic analog noises. The on/off switch can also be flipped rhythmically, allowing for some wicked bleeping/blooping noises. But, to experience, what you could call, the full potential of this piece, go ahead and hook it up to an audio effect pedal, board, rack, or even your Mac or PC, and explore the infinite world of soundscapes that you can create. The Sound Thrasher has a ¼” input for anything with a strong enough signal to effect the piece. For example the audio clips made with a roland tr-505 drum machine where the Sound Thrasher more than lives up to its name – thrashing and destroying any incoming sound waves and mutating them into sounds of vulgarity or beauty, depending upon your style and taste of audio/sound/noise/music/art.

A standard boss-style 9-volt DC wallwart adapter will bring this functional art piece to life. It is not included."
