The Thermatron Flame Controlled Synthesizer


YouTube via sheepslinky
"The proof of concept test for the THERMATRON, a vacuum tube synthesizer controlled by a flame. Created and built by Lorin Edwin Parker at Electric Western.

The right mixture of gas, air pressure, high voltage, chemical ions and heat vary the flow of current through a flame. This current feeds into the grid and / or plate of vacuum tubes controlling an Electric Western Phantastron Synthesizer.

More info and more prototypes will be coming -- www.electricwestern.com
