The Thought Puddle

YO I really want to get into building and/or modding instruments but it's definitely not at the top of my to-do list to learn. Here's a place to post any weird custom build or modded instruments you've found or are aware of If anyone makes their own, we could make a separate thread in Creation Station

I'm gonna start the bar a little high with ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS a Japanese collective that has a level of electronics wizardry I doubt I'll ever get to. Either way I'd love to build or own literally any of these. I'll let the videos speak for themselves for anyone who hasn't already seen them. Here's my favorites:

CRTelecaster:


Electric Fan Harp:


Factory Fan Bass:


Barcoders:


And, I'm just now finding out apparently they combined the barcode tech and the fan tech:

this is wild stuff! I especially love the CRT instrument, so sick

PK, you might like a daxophone. Invented by Hans Reichel who also wrote some v fun weird music with them that you can find on youtube. You can buy kits

Woah! That daxophone is wild! I'm surprised these don't have more views! I like the growly noise in the video with 4 of them.

Here's some really fucking cool adjustable microtonal guitar concepts from Tolgahan Çoğulu:
