Here’s a new piece I’m workshopping right now. I’m not sure I’m 100% happy with some of the elements I chose but I’ll test them out tonight to see if how the all sound. Expect demo vids soon! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #lofi #noisemaker #diy #maker #homemadeinstrument #springzinger #research #sounddesign #clockgongs https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXcbPgu0OP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Big Springzinger News! I just sold the instrument in the first picture (Plain Jane) and will be shipping it off today. The instruments in the next two photos (The Metropolis and Sputnik) will be put up for sale soon. As for the dog, I’m willing to let her go for a mere $999,999.99. Pocket change! Keep checking out my Etsy page (#linkinbio) for updates because my goal is to restock it with a ton of awesome new items by the end of the month. Stay tuned! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #diy #homemadeinstruments #sounddesign #forsale #etsy #etsyshop #springzinger #staytuned #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CYUMSleugF3/?utm_medium=tumblr

I put together this little rig for some electroacoustic exploration this week. I’m going to use the percussion interface module to control my sequencer which will in turn step through a preset melody at random intervals. I’m hoping to get a video or two out of it for my YouTube channel.

I’m. So. Excited. This module will be a game changer. Can’t wait to try it out. Expect many new modular synth vids soon! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #modularsynth #newtoy #newmoduleday #acidraintechnology #maestro #happydays #synth https://www.instagram.com/musicdiscoverylab/p/CX1sVGouvu0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jackpot! Been looking for some clock gongs online for a while and I found this lot for relatively cheap. Can’t wait to incorporate them into my instruments! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #homemadeinstruments #supplies #foundobjects #clockgong #chimes #rawmaterials #staytuned #springzinger https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtYBQhuIc-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just finished building another commission for my pal Jeff Surak from Zeromoon. This one is called The Impaler and I’ll post some sound demos tomorrow after I finish installing the electronics.

I scored a bunch of heat sinks from my friend, Karen, over at the Gadget Lab in Silver Spring, MD recently so I decided to put them to good use (it took FOREVER to drill through them!). I’ll post a vid once I get my mic back this weekend. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #lofi #noisemaker #diy #maker #homemadeinstrument #springzinger #research #foundobjects #art #musicalinstrument #heatsink #stem https://www.instagram.com/p/CWb1s4vPO8u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just finished this commission job for @blakmoth. It’s very similar to the design I used for @garyrouzer’s box but with some slight changes. I rather like this layout! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #commission #lofi #noisemaker #diy #maker #homemadeinstrument #kalimba #springzinger #research https://www.instagram.com/p/CWCQMYDt52Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

Never thought I’d be this sad to let the little fella go but alas, someone bought him off my Etsy store. Fly away, my friend!
