"Bringing out a couple units I haven't touched in 20 years from the attic to remember what they sound like.
No narration or commentary, just me waving my hands around and listening to the funny sounds that come out. Probably more of a record for posterity than anything else...."
"The Photon Blaster: a rhythmic-noise generator that is played by shining strobing LED's into and away from a pair of light-sensors.
Each LED has controls for the speed and shape of the strobe. The LED's and sensors can be moved around to control the response.There is also a pair of CV inputs for controlling the LED's externally.
There are also additional controls for changing timbral and rhythmic aspects of the sounds.
The entire enclosure and and controls (including buttons and knobs) are constructed from Lego bricks.

2021 Minimoog Raffle In Custom African Makore Wood Cabinet
The raffle is open internationally from March 1, 2021 until 11:59pm ET on March
29, 2021, or until all 4,500 tickets sell out, whichever comes first.
Funds raised from the raffle will be used to expand the Foundation’s hallmark
educational project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, currently inspiring over 3,000
elementary school students per year through the science of sound. The raffle
will also help support the Moogseum, an immersive, experiential facility located
in Asheville, NC, which brings Bob Moog’s legacy and the science of sound and
synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum was closed for five months
in 2020 due to the pandemic.
The vintage Minimoog Model D being offered, serial number 8903, was built at
Moog Music's Buffalo, NY-era factory during the late 1970s, has an estimated
value of $6,500, and will only go up in value given the highly coveted nature of
the synthesizer. This Minimoog has been carefully restored and future-proofed by
the renowned synthesizer technician Wes Taggart of Analogics, and is in
excellent technical condition. Taggart, also a lauded woodworker, fabricated the
custom cabinet from rare African Makore wood, which is known for its beauty,
strength, and durability.
