Playing with the Album Cover That Is Also a DIY Synth & Audio Mangler (Synthesizer by APTBS)


video upload by Bay Mud

"I helped a friend build their copy of the recent A Place To Bury Strangers album, Synthesizer, the cover to which is a functional circuit board that becomes a DIY synth as well as an audio mangler. Very cool idea with gnarly results!

At the time of recording, this album was still available, but it took a while to edit and publish, so availability may be have changed, so YMMV
