I was cruising along the lastest post on HackAday last night when I came upon this video.
An artist releasing their first album is always and exciting time,anyone who’s participated in cultural production can relate to that feeling. But kudos to audio artist Moldover for doing it in such an innovative manner. Printing the CD liner into his own custome circuit boards is such a fantastic idea and not just for their aesthetic. Actually converting each CD case into an optical-thermin is sheer brilliance if you ask me! And not content with releasing something that’s merely an electronic toy, he pops a 1/8’” minijack in there so it become an instrument that can be used for recording, amplying etc.
I’m a bit smitten by the idea of this. A clever melding of form and function. I’ve already ordered a copy for myself.
