"MEridian7 (speaking clock operator) live ambient performance using new handmade switchboard synths and early tape field recordings of telephone hackers for New York Electronic Arts Festival 2013. Support and camera courtesy of Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center."

MEridian7 is featured in the recent modular documentary I Dream of Wires.

MERIDIAN7.NET is home to Lori Napoleon's creative works.  Lori and her work is featured in I Dream of Wires. Be sure to see this video on Lori if you haven't already.

Pictured above is the voice changer

"This module was originally used as a desktop hotel switchboard. It contains a circuit bent toy voice changer which creates octaves and 'robot sounds.' I have added a modification which allows variable sampling and playback speeds of audio fed into it."

Directly above is the sequencer

"Each side of the switchboard contains a Music From Outer Space ten step sequencer, with some added features such as external trigger inputs and pulse outs on each step. They can run independently or in sync with each other."

Directly above is the synthesizer

"The synthesizer currently contains VCS, VCF, and envelope modules by Ken Stone and Music From Outer Space. It also contains the MFOS noise cornucopia module for various percussive sounds. Sequencer is right below it."
