This is pretty cool. Play along with TheMOCM: "press 1 - 0 keys on your keyboard to interact (on slow internet connection let the video load first) Full screen, louder and Faster combination play is more fun..

The MoCM Laboratory

Published on Apr 9, 2015 TheMOCM

"www.mocm.gr

MoCM (Monopolis custom made) It is a laboratory that is creating DIY prototypes of electronic- hand made constructions.
MoCM was initially created by need for artistic expression and developed as adjacent activity of Andreas Monopolis

A. Monopolis as composer and performer of electronic and computer music himself, soon caught on to the potential of both live shows and the experience of music making in terms of "instrument" use. MoCM sound solutions come as an answer to those fields which rely largely on software's algorithmic "point, scroll and click" routine; however they can easily adapt to all kinds of music genres.

By focusing on Tinkering, prototyping and junk instrument philosophy, these DIY sound modules open a whole new world of creativity and experimenting for studio recordings or live performances.

All modules are unique, incorporating a variety of materials and features. Their feel is equally old school and futuristic, elegant and edgy, fun and inspiring.

The MoCM lab is a work in progress. Complementary to the line of sound modules which can be purchased when they are found available, it welcomes interaction as well as brainstorming, and it is orientated to workshops and improvs aiming at breaking new artistic grounds."

"Snapshots of MoCM performing live at poza3 exhibition of Eikastiko Ergastirio on Corfu Greece 3 Jun 2012 supported by composers: Filipos Theoxaridis and Stavros Sakelariou.

The live is influenced by and interacting with the Bill Morrison film «DECASIA»

The live follows the movie for more than one hour with drones and sound scapes. Sensors attached on the screen give signals to control different functions of mocm modules."

Upcoming MoCM Workshop with Andreas Monopolis and the TAPETRON

YouTube Uploaded by TheMOCM on Dec 19, 2011

"The tapetron module It is based on the idea of the early samplers. 4 walkmans playing 8 mono lines from stereo pre recorted tapes (perhaps loop tapes) the controls are on/off, volume (for each line-loop) speed, forward/reverse. Dc -- battery power, line out."

"Andreas Monopolis will introduce us to his unique sound devices and he will discuss the notions of DIY on sound, sound moddules and music composing. 

A composer and performer of electronic and computer music himself, he soon caught on to the potential of both live shows and the experience of music making in terms of "instrument" use. MoCM sound solutions come as an answer to those fields which rely largely on software's algorithmic "point, scroll and click" routine; however they can easily adapt to all kinds of music genres.


By focusing on circuit-bending, prototyping and junk instrument philosophy, these DIY sound modules open a whole new world of creativity and experimenting for studio recordings or live performances. 
All modules are unique, incorporating a variety of materials and features. Hacked toys, old consoles, electronic components, pieces of wood and any kind of random objects are turned into synths, sound generators and noise makers which produce, reproduce and modify sound. Their feel is equally old school and futuristic, elegant and edgy, fun and inspiring.

MoCM workshop will follow on Saturday 31/3 and Sunday 1/4."

ps:
I re-uploaded video after a you tube message saying that: Your video, may have content that is owned or licensed by EMI...
(what the ^%@£$!)
The reason of that message is probablly one audio sample from the prodigy at the end of the video (on the making off) so on this part instead of the prodigy now we can hear a very small part of my friends famous Greek band named direct connection( + the module).

555 TIMER Astable - Electronic KIT

via this auction
"Kit contains: PCB (Printed circuit board), 555timer chip, 8 pin IC socket 0.01uF ceramic Capacitor, 10uf electrolytic capacitor, 10 kohm resistor, 8 ohm speaker, 9v. battery plug, crocodile plug.

This Concrete kit can be used for various applications. It is based on the well known 555timer IC (Integrated circuit), a very functional completed chip that is used mainly in timing circuits. 555timer IC can be used for two basic operations, the monostable operation and astable operation.

In the Astable mode the IC does not operate in a constant situation, but changes from one situation to another. This is characterized as square wave oscillation

The square wave is periodical, not sine waveform which has the form of successive vibrations with constant width and duration.

The width of the ideal square wave, it varies continuously between two concrete points in short time intervals (let’s say from 0 volts in 9 volts depending on the benefit). By operating in this way, an LED for example, can blink constantly with the same rythm. In our case, in a speaker it will produce sound “predetermined” by the operating frequency.

With a little imagination, using this simple oscillating sound/noise generator, fun devices can be created, as well as using various electrical contact materials/objects as frequency controllers.

Between the second and third position of “P” and one of the two connectors, a resistor or trimmer can be added, for less sensitivity on the connectors.

Changing the “C1” capacitor for a larger one (± 0.1uf) and at reception “P” adding a potentiometer (± 1Kohm), then the producer can use other instruments with greater control – analog diy synth, some modified game (circuit bent), or use it as an autonomous signal generator ++.

Replacing the potentiometer with a photo resistor in place of “P” (2 & 3), the frequency of the oscillator can be controled from a short distance. Hiding the environment light from the photo resistor or lighting it with a torch, a type “Opto theremin” can be created.

Between the battery and the PCB (printed circuit board) a switch or button can be added or even both!

The output to the speaker can be connected on amplification, eg. to the input of an audio mixer, home sound system, computer speakers, effects, etc.

For more information about the 555 timer and circuits you can check on the Internet. Is very widespread and can be found on many web pages." Also see www.mocm.gr
