im not sure where else this would go...so ill put it here, this is a device i made, well, a collection of devices;

shown in the pic is 'down on the farm death' a circuit bent fisher price keyboard (circuit bending is taking an existing device and well...short circuiting it in ways in which it produces unheard of sounds and messes with the existing sounds.). 'Down on the...' has a knob for pitch shift, a switch for either pitch shift up or down, a normaly closed switch for quick tapping of pitch shifted and normal, and a knob for increased fuzz/distortion. The gray little speaker thingy is actualy a sesame street answering machine ripped out of its case and put into a thing my friend snagged from school called 'echo' (ironicaly, it doesnt do any echo, just amplification), so i named it the 'Sesame Echoplex', it has 2 body contacts for distortion (the two blue screws) the harder you push down on them the more distortion, and it randomly says answering machine messages, holding down the soldered areas of the switches decreases the pitch. All of this is built into a sitcase with speakers and a system to route the speakers to the differnt devices, depending on what tone i want. not shown in the pic is my newly aquired 'drum machine/keyboard' i added three body contacts to it, in differn't combinations they make differnt sequences of noise, the harder you press the lower the pitch, or if a differnt body contact the lower. and a knob to effect the drum speed/pitch... all in all, i just wanted to show it off....so yea, there it is, im working on making it into a somewhat analog modular synth type set up, with patchbays and what not, so i can route the instruments and mix effects and such...
