"A circuit bent casio SA8 with many modifications:

Starting off with melody and a little lfo applied to the pads to good effect. Then degenerating into distorted rhythms, a few minutes of respite with some nice lfo pads and high feedback delay, then into an all out wall noise delay crash with a little lo-fi cover of a NIN number to finish off :)

K-Filter: fully analogue resonant low pass/high pass filter:
Gain.
Resosnance.
Cutoff.
HP/LP.
Lfo depth.

Death industrial crash delay:
Rate
White noise filter
Feedback

Damage control
(stock SA distortion and pseudo filter mods found on most modified casios)

Pitch modification

Lfo routed to filter cutoff and pitch

Deep crash

Dc hum elimination circuitry:
Silences the hum associated with cheap power packs. A necessity when using high gain circuits such as the resonant filter.

Altered to serve as a multi purpose synth/noise generator.

The video drags a little here and there. It was a hard machine to play a full bass/rhythm/melody style set on as unlike something like the pss30 it has no mini sequencer to record notes to jam to with. Ideally we'd have three hands for this kind of thing :)"

nonlinearity III

"Q: So what do you do?

A: I make sound instruments that no one's ever seen before, and then I teach myself how to play them.

Q: Do you play them well?

A: Well, if no one's ever seen one before, how can they tell if I'm playing it badly or not?

Triple soundbox-drone nonlinearity study, constructed and recorded during my 2011 residency at the Danish Institute for Electro/Acoustic Music, Aarhus and edited during a shorter residency at MOKS, Mooste. Glam-rock, audio-responsive soundbox built for KT."
