Radio interference, traditionally a problem in audio, can be used to our advantage. By means of the Thereglyph instrument I would like to introduce to circuit-bending a concept I call radiopool.

While Leon's Theremin looks to onboard RF generation and sounds the same played anywhere, immersing a radiopool instrument to various depths within the RF field (the radiopool) yields changing results... similar to differing the length of the air column within a flute.

Here I'm playing the Thereglyph within the radiopool of a plasma globe - sometimes touched, sometimes not. For more info on this instrument and building one yourself, check-out my flickr gallery:

  • What toy is this?

  • @Oweng40000 This is the dino version of a previous solar system talking game. Same case. Can't miss it in the second hand shops.

    Lots of sensitive circuit points respond in the radiopool. There is no one way to do it. Or one toy. Radiopool applies to lots of circuits. Another broad-spectrum way to bend. Really easy. Get a globe and 'pool a bend! Check the flickr gallery, too.

  • @qrghazala So pretty much, you attached an antennae to a bend point? Sorry If i'm pestering you, but this is really cool.

  • @Oweng40000 No bother! Sure, a bend point. Radiopool will open thousands of RF bent instruments. The concentration in the theremin was smooth voice and control. Radiopool is more open to other radio-controlled sounds as well. Lots.
