#springzinger

I think I’m pretty much done with this new custom job. This client wanted me to use clock springs and I jumped at the chance. They sound so spooky! Here’s a quick sound check. All that’s left is to solder the wires and it’ll be ready to ship:). . . . . #musicdiscoverylab #diy #diyinstruments #homemadeinstruments #maker #sounddesign #electroacoustic #percussion #springzinger #kalimba #musicbox #woodenfrog #custombuild #workshop #preview #overkill #springs #bow #scrape #spooky #soundtrack https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Sg6EBBe1d/?igshid=xsrri31xatlm

Merry Christmas! My wife got me this cool instrument made of springs in a cigar box with a pickup and instrument 1/4 output. Excited to hear what kinds of noises I can make!! It’s called an #springzinger and is made by Jason Mullinax @musicdiscoverylab . . . #newgear #newgearday #composer #composerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B6gR-G5B_ok/?igshid=1wbkszgcfveow

“Straight Street” latest version of this evolving arrangement. This guitar started by trying to play the bass line that the bass vocal sings in the Pilgrim Travelers version. Then from there, some different chord inversions that were inspired upon working on playing that bass part. Still kinda sloppy imo. It’s in drop D. Also, in the background is an early version of a Springzinger made by @musicdiscoverylab ...I haven’t figured out how to do this instrument justice but you should check out his page for more info on his handmade instruments! #straightstreet #pilgrimtravelers #guitararrangement #blues #gospel #gospelmusic #folkguitar #folkmusic #springzinger #rycooder #fingerstyle #fingerstyleguitar #guitarbassline #acousticguitar #acousticcovers #baltimoremusic #baltimore #thebmorecreatives #simonandpatrickguitars #aeramps (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2b2eD-nlll/?igshid=7yyh4ej8pflr

Here’s the video demonstration of my newest box running through some reverb and delay. It will be for sell in the upcoming weeks. . . #musicdiscoverylab #springzinger #diy #diyinstruments #homemadeinstruments #electroacoustic #percussion #sounddesign #maker #etsy #comingsoon #staytuned #cigarboxart #springs #restock #music #art #chimes #jingles #reverb #delay #avalancherun #demo #forsale https://www.instagram.com/p/B1sZ5ghB-YV/?igshid=90o6l99bw0bm

Here’s a nice ambient loop I made using the Springzinger and the @earthquakerdev #avalancherun. Sounds pretty good to me:). . . . . #musicdiscoverylab #diy #diyinstruments #homemadeinstruments #maker #sounddesign #electroacoustic #percussion #springzinger #kalimba #musicbox #woodenfrog #custombuild #workshop #preview #overkill #springs #loop #demo #closerlook #music #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Si5N9BwTm/?igshid=yx06lvakglzp

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.

My buddy @garyrouzer got his #springzinger in the mail today. This is the first video he made with it.

Almost done with another commission. All that’s left is adding the last few acorn bolts to the tops of some of the bolts and putting in the electronics. I’ll post a video demonstration later this evening. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #springzinger #homemadeinstruments #diy #maker #makerspace #electroacoustic #percussion #soundart #sounddesign #kalimba #commission #progress #stem #soundtrack https://www.instagram.com/p/CVd6O2ivvQp/?utm_medium=tumblr
