Tonight I upgraded an old Springzinger for my friend @codysummit. I gave him an earlier version of this box about a year ago but I was never quite happy with it. I wanted to get my hands on it again and tweak it some more. This here is the final version and it almost looks like a cathedral or a spaceship or something:). I’ll post a video of it soon. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #springzinger #upgrade #sounddesign #instrumentbuilding #homemadeinstruments #diy #diyinstrument #electroacoustic #percussion #springs #cigarbox #music #art #bells https://www.instagram.com/p/B2vbWkChREF/?igshid=1ury0uwcghg6d

I just restocked my Etsy shop. I’ve got a dozen items for sale.

And here’s the inside of the Penélope box. I run the kill switch in parallel because otherwise I always had severe grounding issues. Also, the button is in the “always open” position so when you close it it kills the signal. I’m sure there are better ways to do this but I’ll figure it out eventually. That’s what life long learning is all about😄! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #instrumentbuilding #diy #diyinstruments #sounddesign #penelopecruz #electroacoustic #percussion #springzinger #demo #forsale #etsy #comingsoon #learnasyougo https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SJuTzBx7l/?igshid=7mjjdsl5e2b7

And here’s a quick jam with the Penélope box, some tuning forks and a couple random effects. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #instrumentbuilding #diy #diyinstruments #sounddesign #penelopecruz #electroacoustic #percussion #springzinger #demo #forsale #etsy #comingsoon #tuningforks https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SIiRlB92L/?igshid=z76qhxo12e73

Here’s a quick demo of the killswitch idea. I installed one in my Penélope Cruz box that I’ll be putting up for sell in the next few days. The button basically turns off the mic so it can’t pick up any signal and you can use that to create some weird effects. This isn’t the most “musical” example but it gives you an idea of how it works. It’s a little noisy but I think that’s part of the charm. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #instrumentbuilding #diy #diyinstruments #sounddesign #penelopecruz #electroacoustic #percussion #springzinger #demo #forsale #etsy #comingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SHW5phh2Z/?igshid=1dfdf2kt0fdvg
