"Diagram A is my mental feedback research project that has been producing visual and audio noise constructions for about 20 years. All the electronics used in recordings and live demonstrations are handmade and my own design. The skills I have accumulated from this research will be used in the production of a limited edition of noise synth devices if this campaign is funded.

The devices will come with multiple inputs and outputs, a multiple pad touch sensitive control for skin contact, 4 oscillators, noise generator and extra copper pads to make it circuit bender friendly. In other words they will sputter, squeal, and beep. Plug stuff into them or plug them into each other (if you have a couple) to create complex textures! Press your fingers onto touch sensitive pads for additional control of the sound!

My machines endure abuse and keep kicking. These devices will be a reliable construction with a body designed by partner/sculpture Alicia Renadette. Alicia has years of experience in fabrication shops and a solid grasp of materials.

The funding goal is $7000. This would go towards necessary startup costs including materials(aluminum, wood) tools(drill press, jig saw), electronics(printed circuit boards, components), time/rent(I will be quiting my day job to work on this through the winter)

The perks include never heard recordings in hand made art packaging, crazy T shirts with Diagram: A image, one of a kind collages and rarely seen video.

If I don't reach the goal.... The struggle continues. I will likely reduce the number of devices produced.

These boxes will be unique, fun to play and visually appealing, it can be added to any number of electronic experimenters music set up with customization available for those that like to. It can be used to morph drum machines, vocals, or add tones and noises to your sound.. fun is important.

We are not flakes, this will be a structured plan. Alicia will serve as project manager in line with her experience, and I will work. That's what I do.

If you are unable or not interested contributing to this campaign, maybe you know someone that might be interested please share it with them.
