Yes, it’s a contact microphone encrusted with eyes.

That wraps it up for Instrument-a-day 2016. See you next year!

This time it works, softly, thanks to circuit advice from Dr Bleep.

A paper “violin”, amplified with a contact microphone. It just barely works.

instrument-a-day 25: failed candle tremolo

I put a photoresistor into a guitar cable and made a little candle spinner to try to modulate the guitar sound. Somehow it only modulates the background hum.

Inspired by the Candela Vibrophase.

instrument-a-day 24: basse aux pieds

Yesterday I found out about a 19th century instrument, a kind of floor accordion called the basse aux pieds (foot bass). So I made a little digital one.

More about the basse aux pieds, the real one, on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxcqYlKay78. “It’s a truly Belgian instrument.”

instrument-a-day 21: extremely bass

A bass made from a heavy duty rubber strap. Way too low to be good for anything, or even audible, really.

Trying out the tone.js library for browser noises, with the same primitive speech synthesis idea as days 12, 17, and 18.

Try it yourself at moonmilk.com/16/02/whisperer.html
