The Ghazala Thereglyph


YouTube Uploaded by qrghazala on Apr 18, 2011

"Radio interference, traditionally a problem in audio, can be used to our advantage. By means of the Thereglyph instrument I would like to introduce to circuit-bending a concept I call radiopool.

While Leon's Theremin looks to onboard RF generation and sounds the same played anywhere, immersing a radiopool instrument to various depths within the RF field (the radiopool) yields changing results... similar to differing the length of the air column within a flute.

Here I'm playing the Thereglyph within the radiopool of a plasma globe - sometimes touched, sometimes not. For more info on this instrument and building one yourself, check-out my flickr gallery:

"Thereglyph With Plasma Globe

To radio-fy a bent instrument, first try to create an unstable audio circuit.

Benders are familiar with a potentiometer setting that places the circuit at the edge of crash. In this precarious configuration the circuit is very susceptible to interference.

Begin experimenting with RF generators nearby the circuit - a small plasma ball is a strong, but dirty, RF source. Move the ball. Place your hands between the circuit and the RF source. Experiment with adding antennae and metal plates to circuit points. Touch or wave hands nearby these extensions!"

M-RGT psyBOX

"psyBOX is a space-atmospheric soundscape generator - made to produce sounds, which can be used to create ambient and space- music.This particular tool can be called "pilotless". When you press "Start" button, you will plunge into the boundless world of the drifting waves woven in amazing sound textures. Depths of the outer space and the touch of the strange worlds, earth and heaven, dark and light sides of the existence – all these are the shades of the sound palette of the psyBOX. The processes inside that instrument live and develop independently creating all those landscapes. I recommend psyBOX as a source for inspiration when you need new ideas.

psyBOX uses the samples as a source of spectra splitting them into multiple grains-micro waves and combining them in clusters. Those clusters are formed randomly and they flow from one into another forming infinite drifting morphing. The two-layer scheme allows to expand tool possibilities making the sound more condensed and multilayered, adding more volume to the panorama. You can familiarise yourself with the possibilities of psyBOX by listening to sound examples or by loading the demo version which is accessible here." You can find samples here.

Ionic EMS VCS3 Synthesizer Early Model 1969 first production SN 118


via this auction

"This synth is fully functional but the case is cracked and it has a couple of mods that were removed except for the IEC connection. From what I've understood this is from the first production - with dins. (around 20-50 were made of this type with German style din jacks instead of 1/4 according to Robin Wood.) This synth was approved by David Cockerell himself with his initials on the serial tag and completed 22nd of December, 1969. Pretty much all orig. parts inside. Definitely needs to be recapped. I'm assuming it was owned at one time by NYU as the sticker implies. This has a sticker indicating that it was the Ionic Industries Inc Putney VCS3 carefully placed over the EMS graphic (Electronic Music Studios (London) LTD VCS so I'm guessing this was when Ionic was distributing EMS in the states."

Ionic also made an EMS SYNTHI clone in a full blown keyboard case called the Ionic Performer. See the Ionic label below for more. SN SE / 118

"the noise box loosely based on the Cacophonator circuit. Modded to my likings and circuit bent. I also slapped on a decal of some artwork by a friend of mine, Andrew Navarro.

Have fun sending your beats to outer-space and back... Also functions as a stand-alone 6 oscillator synth without any input signal.

View my other noise machines here

Features:
6 Oscillators for some wacky and THICK sounds
On/off switches for Osc.1 & Osc. 3
Bypass switch to have your input signal play with or without any modulation
Accepts any line-level input signal which alters the synth sounds produced (mp3 player, cd player, etc)
Output volume control
Input volume control
Intensity/Drive knob to get more crazy with
Feedback knob to control the mix between the oscillators, which also affects the patterns produced.
On/off switch
Red LED
1/4" input and output jacks
9v battery included"
