Yuichi Onoue(尾上祐一) "Ribbon Space" played on Ribbon Controller

Yuichi Onoue plays his original tune "Ribbon Space" by handmade Ribbon Controller.
Studio live in 2002.

自作リボンコントローラのソロ演奏です。

This handmade electric musical instrument can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. Ribbon Controller was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.

This ribbon controller hooked up to simple analogue oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator changes in the value of electric resistance. Electrically, This ribbon controller is just an electric variable resistance. Not a midi box.

The effect he starts off with is a ring modulator. I build one once and tried playing my guitar through it but it atonal so I ended up getting rid of it.
