"One of a kind Circuit Bent Speak and Spell professionally modified by Diabolical Devices. It was part of a recent art exhibit featuring works by James Gramling. It has been through a plastic deformation technique and was hand painted. Check out the cool stitches...
Modifications include a master pitch control, loop grab an hold switches, and two toggle switch activated glitches. Also added 1/4" audio output. When cable is inserted into audio output the internal speaker is deactivated. When none of the modifications are engaged this is a 100% stock Speak and Spell.

Because of the horrific and unnecessary surgery we preformed this unit will only run on a power supply (no batteries).

Be sure to check out the other items in our store. There are a couple more pieces for the same exhibit currently listed. International shipping is $45 worldwide."  Stitches.

Save Icebreaker Audio on Indiegogo

Back Icebreaker Audio on Indiegogo.

"Through Icebreaker Audio I release content for music making products (also called soundware). My products mainly focus on the Kontakt and Reaktor platforms by Native Instruments.

Unfortunately, Icebreaker Audio's product sales do not bring in enough money to cover its own expenses, and so I rely on freelance commissions to survive. This creates a catch-22 situation:

on the one hand, this work is needed in order to fund my own creations;
on the other hand, my own work time is compromised, and thus so too is the quality and scope of Icebreaker Audio.
And so, in order to keep Icebreaker Audio alive I have turned to crowd funding and a different business model: If enough people pre-pay for the year, so that I can cover my costs, I can substancially reduce my freelance work and focus on amazing new creations, which backers will be able to download for free.

If this project is funded, not only will Icebreaker Audio be able to continue producing boutique instruments and effects, it will also be able to expand, and even venture into new territory..."

iKazoo: Game Controller, Music Composer, Fitness Monitoring, Stylus Pen, ...

Published on Mar 20, 2013 OGACOGadgets·2 videos

Update: this will support MIDI, OSC and Audiobus. I asked the makers and they replied:

"Yes, this is one of the main topics from the iKazoo. It will come with an APP, which contains a look-up table to link incoming iKazoo signals to MIDI or OSC.  We also plan to link the sound to Audiobus. iKazoo will be a very versatile MIDI controller, as any of its sensors will send data to the look-up table.
You will find XYZ2MIDI (Gyro) Tap2MIDI (Shocksensor) Touch2MIDI (Touchsensor for 2Octave chromatic or any-scale keyboard).  Flute and Kazoo will create MIDI pitch, note and velocity signals; while any sensor can also change MIDI channels.  Also, the two RGB LEDs, once received from an IOS or Android camera will create Cam2MIDI values.  The look-up table will have a "SimpleLearn" function to allow users the link and combine iKazoo signal to almost any application (Music, Games, Fitness, Office etc.) Their settings can be saved in scripts and shared with other users."

What is iKazoo? "A wind instrument [and more] that adds a 'buzzing' timbral quality to your voice when you sing into it. The kazoo is a type of membranophone – a device which modifies the sound of a person's voice by way of a vibrating membrane. In this way anybody can produce any sound using just their voice.  By replacing the membrane with a piezo microphone the sound can be amplified and alternated. Tunes can be converted into numbers [midi]. These numbers can control electronic instruments on your Smartphone, Tablet, PC or Laptop. Making such an electric kazoo might be cool for awhile, but probably it would get boring pretty quickly. That is why,we introduce the iKazoo."

"iKazoo is extremely versatile with tons of amazing functions! The flute side is a breath synthesizer. That's why iKazoo looks like a flute from one side.

The complete surface is touch and shock sensitive, so you can tap on different positions with different intensity to get a super drum computer or beat box. Plus, if you hold iKazoo in your hand instead of between your lips, the built-in microphone can record and alter your voice, while the tunes you have created previously are automatically looped. This will give you an unbelievable performance.

A bi-directional bluetooth transceiver connects wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet.

The iKazoo's built-in Arduino platform is equipped with optical and motion sensors. This turns the iKazoo into an Optical Game Controller. So just move the iKazoo around and play your favorite games easily.

The two multicolour LEDs allow you to connect to any device that has a built-in camera, such as your Phone, Tablet, or a PC.

Just hold the iKazoo in front of the device, and our driver application will search and sync up! You will never have to use a touch screen again. Connect your device to your TV and you have a game console, a presenter or a chat assistant to bring fun into your video calls.

iKazoo's sensors monitor all your movements! Use it as a step counter or check the impact on your joints when you do workout! Even compose music while jogging."

"Some of my modules on expo in the http://mu.nl for the exhibition: Sounds Like Art.

Sounds Like Art - Andy Cavatorta, Gijs Gieskes, Tom Verbruggen from stichting MU on Vimeo.
March 22 - May 5

Guest curator: Michel van Dartel

In the vanguard of music, sound artists are always exploring new ways of creating music. Often the search will not only lead them to the new sounds they set out to find, but also to some unique instruments. Instruments which, besides being functional, can also be seen as works of visual art in their own right. Especially when they combine the aesthetics of craftsmanship with the possibilities offered by the latest in technology.

Usually these works of art perform their humble services exclusively on the stage, where they can hardly be observed from up close. But in the exhibition SOUNDS LIKE ART the spotlight is not on the artists, but on the instruments they create. It has resulted in an exhibition in which we can hear and, most importantly, also see the unique interplay between form, material qualities, and technology of these new instruments.

The participating artists include the American Andy Cavatorta, who created a series of harps especially for Björk, which are played using gravity, Dutch hardware hacker Gijs Gieskes who compiles the most extraordinary new synthesisers from existing electronics, and Eindhoven based musician/artist Tom Verbruggen, better known as TokTek, who creates some ingenious sound-producing sculptures.

On Saturday May 4 Sounds Like Art ends with a special night of live performances by Author & Punisher, Gijs Gieskes, Pieterjan Pieters en Tom Verbruggen/TokTek.
