Anouncing the THERMATRON!

A flame controlled synthesizer! It takes a minute or two for the electrodes to heat up - so watch the whole thing. More technical info in my weblog (too complicated to put here)...

6/24 - Some Goings On:

1. New Video of a vintage LinnDrum (which Lorin restored from death) feeding a Phantastron's wicked tubes.

2. Dutch Composer / Performer, Hans Kockelmans has recorded a Concerto Grosso for Phantastron! We are looking forward to the CD and the debut on Dutch Classical Radio. View Hans' works and CDs here

 


6/7 - We survived another Maker Faire! Thanks to everyone who came out, signed our guest list and played our instruments!
