Miss FD – Infatuated (Official Music Video)
Available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/album/infatuated-single/id493065137
Out now is the new “Infatuated” video single by Miss FD. You can order the “Infatuated” single as a digital release from Amazon US, iTunes, and other digital music outlets. Miss FD took her dark electro sound in a whole new direction by turning up the heat with the release of the electro-rock single “Infatuated”, a siren song that weaves her trademark pulsing beats & sensual melodies with the threatening guitar licks of Robert Dante. Now FD and director Adam Alvarez have summoned up the enticing visuals for that track, blending the futuristic sheen of black latex with a vintage backdrop of Gothic scarlet to seduce the eye as well as the ear. The video for “Infatuated” was filmed in West Palm Beach, and makes its world premiere today.

Human Resistance Synthesizer
http://www.handmadeelectronicinstruments.com/
This is a lo-fi synthesizer that is played by bridging a connection between the two large contact handles. The pitch is controlled by the amount of resistance. The more resistance or lighter touch produces lower frequencies. This oscillator is then modulated by a LFO, giving this device very nice throaty, almost vocal sounds. It can also be played through multiple people creating a human chain.
The three large knobs control the speed of the LFO, a low-pass filter, and volume. It is powered by an included 9volt battery. A green LED indicator flashes in sync with the modulation. A standard 1/4″ output makes it perfect to connect to amps, effects, or recording equipment.
“This is the second of a matched pair of these I built using repurposed cigar boxes, salvaged handles, and new as well as salvaged components.”
