"Hal 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's "2001 Space Odyssey" Circuit Bent Replica Hand Built by Dr. Blankenstein
Case is hand framed in wood, top and button layered in plexi-glass, covered in a "movie set perfect" design of Hal 9000's eye, 1/8" mono output jack, momentary on / off stutter switch, pitch adjust knob, and two hidden touch points which can be used to distort and change the pitch of the sample. Hal's eye flickers and strobes to the changes in the sound.
I am a huge fan of this movie... well all of Stanley's Kubrick's movie's actually (even Eye's wide shut and AI lol). I had this idea while watching the "daisy scene" on YouTube and just HAD TO BUILD IT! lol It's a one of a kind piece as of now, but I might do another version of it with the "daisy" sample in it instead... and maybe even an iPod input jack ;) Stay tuned, make sure to subscibe and thanks for watching."

Circuit Bent "Tequila" Song Remix / Drone Synth - Designed by Dr. Blankenstein

"Circuit Bent "Tequila" Song (Pee-Wee Herman dance song from the 80's lol) Remix / Drone Synth - Designed by Dr. Blankenstein
Some of us remember this song from Pee-Wee Harman's "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" movie... it's the song they play in the biker bar when he does his famous dance on top of a table. The song is by the band "The Champs".
So... this synth plays 15 seconds of the song, and has a all original / one of a kind crazy Jose Cuervo / wacky Mexican style design. This piece started a musical greeting card and new sports a 1/4 output jack, momentary on / off stutter button, A pitch control knob in line with two body contacts... one will distort the sound... both will change the pitch. Next to the right of the box is a On / Off switch to activate the modulation effect.. this also has it's own set of body contact. Together they can get a huge variety of sounds out of a little monster of a circuit bent synth.
Be sure to subscribe to my channel for more circuit bent / designer synth videos.. Thanks for watching."
