In January 2015, I finally got brave enough to tackle the Synth in a Box project that I picked up from Michael Victor at EM2014. This proved to be quite challenging because it was the most involved electronically, with lots of wires. I opted for solid wire because I generally ...
This was my most challenging project to date, consisting of 13 hrs of build and a few setbacks throughout. Still, it was a lot of fun. My wife hates the sounds this thing makes! I bought the kit unassembled from fellow electro-music artist Michael Victor, who had intended to build ...
I’ve always been interested in brain/computer interfacing, but never knew much about the field. When the OpenBCI open source platform came out on Kickstarter, I supported the campaign and signed up for one of their first boards. I thought with my Arduino experience up to that point that it would be ...

At the end of August I built the SparkPunk Sound Kit, and used an EHX 8-Step to trigger the kit via control voltage. Not long after this, Sparkfun released their own sequencer, which I promptly ordered, hoping it would arrive before the next electro-music festival. The sequencer kit arrived well ...
It has been a while since I built something, so here’s a little project that was a lot of fun, and has opened up some new noise maker territory. Sparkfun is one of the top suppliers of parts and kits for the electronics hobbyist, and while I still prefer Adafruit ...
This post is for any of my listeners who are curious (or confused) about my journey into Zero Input Mixing (ZIM). Disclaimer: This isn’t for the faint of heart. Those who are used to my Blues/Roots side, or the work I do with Fricknadorable are forewarned. These are not the ...
