I think I may have posted these a ways back--I don't know how easy these are to find anymore--they use to be common in the 90s. Use the megaphone funnels on your amp and your vox mic; shake the spring around--pretty unique sounding trippy win ensues

there were 4 motors on this before it was decommissioned

This was fun circa BILF. 4 sources with a 4x2 stereo mixer.
ds-lite with korg ms-10
buddha machine 1
ipad2 with rebirth
'60s sony lapel mic

The mic is plugged into a ww2 hi-lo headset field transformer which brings it to life and facilitates saturation.
buddha machine: drone source either direct or miking the speaker
ms-10: 1 hit drums, various percussion triggering, gating, synthy enveloping
rebirth: rhythm section
minidisc player for its nonlinear response & atrac compression; sampling, archiving


Pretty Years provides the stunt
BitQuest is the duct tape & zipties holding everything together
The Tape T's tap tempo was/is a revelation for working out mathy rhythms in an unorthodox twist on the tap tempo mpc60-loop creation I prefer for workflow

too bad there is literally no more toy stores in the states. toys r us used to always have some cool stuff. weird mics / keyboards.
i got a spongebob drum machine a couple years ago for my bday that had like mostly 909 sounds on it.

that ucreate thing was pretty cool by mattel. not sure how much they go for now.

Depending on where you live, theres plenty of flea markets that sell noisy toys. Thats where im headed next.

Reminds me of my old Zube Tube. I mostly use it to chase my cats around these day, but I've reamped stuff through it for some super psychedelic reverb sounds.

I remember those! I can imagine that would sound psychdelicious

In the stone age, I'd just go to the Toys R Us and look for anything that had awful (or funny) samples that were early digital.

Robocop muttering 'Drugs are trouble' into a 15s reverb was a thing of terror.

And I had a pocketful of gas station noisemakers - the little piezo keychain "guns" that played a different sound every time you pulled the trigger or worked the hammer.

You can get 16 sound noise kits for a couple bucks. Easy to build. I have one I have been meaning to put into an enclosure, and make a little more user friendly.

[qersty]

a radio into distortion and delay is a classic weird sound generator, you can get awful pink noise and random spoken bits its great.

last night we geared up to get down,
and when the jam capootzed, we left an OD and fuzz on, controls rolled back... with still much sensitivity ...and sustaining output
laying down my stick, we dimmed the lights, and switched the ceiling room fan on, and sat down.. with a glass of cold milk.
Suddenly! to my surprise! like church bells, or wind chimes a timbre siren'd across the room from my peavey 20W amplifier; it was the current of air flow vibrating the strings on my stick, and it sounded really cool. subtle and random and like...chimes.....not like the.......roto guitar.... by boyd turd rice
