Here’s another experiment with my modular and the record + remix by @techwillsaveus. This time I sampled the music box tines off of one of my #Springzingers. It could’ve used a touch of reverb and delay but I didn’t have any available at the time. . . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #toysynth #voicerecorder #techwillsaveus #delay #plaits #braids #effects #modularsynth #musicbox #loop #electronicmusic #modularsynth #looper #generativemusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr1M-Zh6zr/?igshid=12w8hhm12xsao

My audio pots came in today! I tried out one in a box I just completed for a friend and it sounds so much better than the other pots I was using. The only issue I had was grounding the wires to the back of the pot. The solder just wasn’t working very well so I ended up using hot glue instead. I might prototype a few other designs but if all goes well these volume knobs will be a standard feature of all my new #Springzingers. Progress!!!! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #potentiometer #electriacoustic #percussion #prototype #sounddesign #homemadeinstruments #art #music #design #kalimba #musicbox #latenightworking #success #movingforward https://www.instagram.com/p/B77l4TMhIiu/?igshid=32jelp80iypv

Looking back, 2019 was a really big year for me. I released three albums, acquired some powerful new music gear, started an after school program, built nearly 100 #springzingers, set up an Etsy shop, facilitated a number of instrument building workshops, and set myself up for a very interesting 2020 among many other things. I’m excited to see how the next year plays out and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you all. Stay tuned! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #newyearseve #diy #maker #homemadeinstruments #electroacoustic #percussion #sounddesign #2020 #goals #etsy #newdecade #experimentalmusic #cigarbox #art #music #bestof #moretocome https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vfhZNBwPC/?igshid=yu9aw27try2q

Been busy teaching this week and working on my upcoming albums so I haven’t been posting much content lately. Here are some #springzingers that I built with a group of homeschoolers this past Monday. We had a lot of fun and I love seeing the different ways they approach their designs😁. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #electroacoustic #percussion #lofi #sounddesign #maker #diy #homemadeinstruments #diyinstruments #workshop #kids #music #handson #education #cigarbox https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hkvRZBg8r/?igshid=1dd0x50oq18r1
