Paia Theremin Theremax Modified Synth SN 0282

"This is a Paia theremax theremin that was modified by Kaiser instruments. It features an envelope filter and oscillator along with a phaser and delay section. External sound sources can be patched in as well to use the onboard effects. Obviously patching the theremin in leaves you sonically curious for hours on end. Killer unit that is extremely unique."

See the Kaiser label at the bottom of this post for more.

And he doesnt stop there his electronic instruments have to look cool, too. So, Tim houses them in wildly inventive containers. Then meet the musical maverick who inspired him, Harry Partch.

Tim Kaiser - Performance Artist, Sonic Designer

John Duval sent this my way. Some amazing custom work. Title link takes you to Tim Kaiser's sonic page. Make sure to track back to his main sitefor his performance art and more.

The 400 with Flangulator


"The 400 with Flangulator was a commission from a very generous guy in Phoenix, who in-turn gave it to Nick Rhodes (currently behind a velvet rope in his London studio). I re-worked an old EH-400 Mini Synth brain into a new case, added real keys from a smashed Farfisa Compact and incorporated a hybrid flanger/ring modulator circuit. Also features a pseudo-ribbon controller for the stop frequency and a way cool "magic lamp."

The Custom 500.

Check out the old-school rotary phone on the side!

"The Custom 500 is about as complicated as I want to do. Features a looping delay, dual stage distortion, vocoder, oscillator and roto-phone-vibe. This was a commission for Stephan in California (thanks for the tour!). "

The HL-1958


"The HL-1958 Synth is a 20 key synth with envelope filter, 1 second looping delay (that also does flange, double, echo, etc.) and a dual-voice brain. Contols for sustain and pitch warp. And of course a classic analog meter to go with the classic analog sound. Now out in Los Angeles..."
