Third Coast Festival Awards Prototype

We were hired to create the electronics for the Third Coast Festival's 2009 Awards. Each award will play a two minute segment of the winning documentary and will have a "normal" mode, a "bent" mode, and a "synth" mode. Each award will be housed in a custom made replica of a vintage radio.

The basic architecture is a circuit bent sampling mother board with a 555 timer chip oscillator daughter board. This particular example is playing a segment of a documentary about toy hacking produced by Delaney Hall, and contains an interview with Tommy and myself.

This "cardboard" prototype is an intermediate stage to check the functionality of the components and to debug the internal wiring scheme.
