Beep Poet 2 – Home made noise maker in a can
This is a neat little can 
Background info:
The Beep Poet 2 is available from Etsy in USD http://www.etsy.com/shop/SymetriColour and Folksy in GBP http://www.folksy.com/shops/ChrisDodsworthDesign
The first half of this video shows the Beep Poet 2 connected via its 1/4″ jack and the second half shows it playing through its internal speaker. The Beep Poet 2 is a battery powered noise maker in a can. Its great for making sound effects and silly noises. It is controlled by 4 knobs, and 2 switches.
It has 2 oscillators (Red and Green knobs). Osc 1 produces audio frequency ranges whilst osc 2 produces LFO and audio frequencies which is great for extreme effects. Osc 1 goes to the output through a simple passive filter (Yellow knob) Osc 2 can modulate the pitch of osc 1 by the amount set by the blue knob or gate its volume when the modulation switch is turned on. There is a switch to trigger the unit which can be locked in place by pushing it one way or give a momentary action by pushing it the other.
The knobs all go backward. This is because I’m using logarithmic knobs which make the oscillators easier to control when wired up the wrong way round. The Beep Poet 2 has a small loudspeaker to produce sound but can also be plugged into external equipment via a 1/4″ socket on the base of the unit. The Beep Poet 2 is powered by a single 9v battery (not supplied) which can be installed by removing the nut around the 1/4″ socket and removing the base. Its mounted in a recycled tin can. It is also supplied with an instruction CDR.

Mountford Park remixing
See http://bassling.blogspot.com/search/label/park%20remix%20… for detail on this project to remix parks within Leeton for the centenary of the town.
“Here’s the result of my visit to the park that’s at the heart of Leeton and the setting for many town events, like the upcoming Light Up Leeton concert for Christmas. I’ve stuck to the playground here though. “

Rainboard – Honeycombs and Snowflakes Performance
This video is an original composition and performance (Steven Maupin) using the Rainboard. The Rainboard is a DIY dynamic isomorphic keyboard. It can interface the Musix iOS app in order to change layouts and adjust settings. As well, it can be played on its own after a layout is set. More details can be found at http://rainboard.shiverware.com
Details:
An isomorphic keyboard is a musical device where a grid of notes is displayed to the user and the interval change between notes in constant for any given direction. The end result is the ability to move a musical passage between keys without learning a new fingering or spatial relation (transpositional invariance). What this means is that once you have learned a pattern, say a chord or a scale, that pattern is the same for all keys.
Songwriters benefit by discovering new melodies and musical relationships. Novices find it easy to learn to play. Songwriters benefit by discovering new melodies and musical relationships. Novices find it easy to learn to play. Experienced musicians are rewarded with an intuitive interface.
