MOTM-521 Cloud Generator Expansion Breadboard

via My Synthesis Technology MOTM Analog Modular Synth where you can find an update from Paul S. of MOTM. For those not familiar with what a breadboard is, it's where you prototype and work on designs before actual manufacturing. The breadboard itself is the brown board you see the components sitting on.

Snuff Box - Empty Room

YouTube via Exulus.

"Empty Room Suicide song." Via Suit & Tie Guy of STG Soundlabs:
"Matt Berry is one of the actors on The Mighty Boosh, he plays the owner of the zoo i believe. anyway this is from a show he did called Snuff Box. this skit is a parody of Edgar Winters' Old Grey Whistle Test appearance. i think it's important to point out this isn't pissing all over synth rock ... it's fairly obvious Matt and his friends are pretty intelligent dudes who can love something and laugh at it simultaneously. it also seems like he actually played the lines you hear on an SH-1000, and there's a bunch of EU-format modular stuff with a Minimoog sitting on top of it also in the shot which don't get used: for reference, this is the quite fantastic Edgar Winter clip being referenced:"

Build a Not so Ghetto Talk box out of a Toilet Plunger

YouTube via widgetphreak
"WidgetPhreak shows you how to build a ghetto talkbox with some simple household tools (plumbing supplies, pc speaker, and a toilet plunger)"

The Ghetto Talkbox

YouTube via mootbooxle. Funny I always thought it was moot-boo-il like pop-si-cle.
"MooT BooXLe demonstrates how he made a talkbox out of common parts, for a very small amount of money and time. The idea for this project came from paranorm's article here. NOTE: This will NOT give you a sound like a pro talkbox, but it's cheap, easy, and fun."
