Twittering Machine: a kinetic, circuit-bent sculpture

[Fxdrum]

OH MAN!

Hey can you explain this Coke can sequencer to me?

[ntheory]

I'll try- the 'bend points' on the circuit boards are wired to the panel on the front which allows you to route 8 points to the electrodes touching the can. In this vid the can is wrapped with paper marked with graphite so the electrodes short as the markings pass by. Later I added a few more cans with different patterns by sanding off the can label or taping on metal foil.

I really dig the idea here, combining instrument and sculpture with circuit bending and all this random found stuff. I wish the sound was a bit more interesting, but this is really cool.

Poor thing..

It's fucking wonderful!

Not too advanced and not too easy.

But, what about adding some LEDs to give it a more machiney look? =P
