instrument-a-day 27: candle tremolo, again
This time it works, softly, thanks to circuit advice from Dr Bleep.
instrument-a-day 26: paper violin
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 23: rainy leak bucket
not fixing a hole where the rain gets in
instrument-a-day 22: echo pipes
Long pipes make cool echoes.
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.
instrument-a-day 20: whisperer.js
Trying out the tone.js library for browser noises, with the same primitive speech synthesis idea as days 12, 17, and 18.

instrument-a-day 19: sugar fizz
I noticed that when I drop a lump of sugar in my tea, it makes a tiny fizzing noise. It’s barely audible here.
