Beep-It, Seeq-It, and "Speaking in Code"

Beep it Deluxe from Michael Una on Vimeo.


"Beep-it is an optical theremin. It outputs a square wave whose pitch is controlled by the amount of light striking a photoresistor. You control the pitch by casting shadows over the light sensor, or by pointing it towards/away from a light source. The Deluxe version comes in a fancy bamboo case with more knobs and functionality. $35-$65" on fractalspin

Seeq-it from Michael Una on Vimeo.


"Seeq-it is a square wave synthesizer with a built-in stepped sequencer. There are 8 steps to the sequence, and each step can be set to a different pitch or turned off. LEDs on the front panel indicate the position and speed of the sequence as it moves in a circle. A 2nd low-frequency oscillator can be used to modulate the output pitch, resulting in additional tones and rhythms. A built-in resonant lowpass filter allows for fat frequency sweeps and tone control. Seeq-it's sound is reminiscent of both 8-bit video games and classic techno sequencers. The pitch output ranges from very high to very low, earth-shaking bass frequencies. $195" on fractalspin

"URB Magazine calls Speaking in Code "One of the most need-to-watch music docs in recent memory." It's an intimate account of people who are completely lost in music. A heartbreaking and lighthearted documentary, it's a vérité glimpse into the world of techno. Captivating and entertaining, the film takes you around the world, following the people who make electronic music ... their lives. $19.95" on fractalspin
