Amazon is also in the process of opening actual bookstores across the country, after successfully choking the physical bookstore business to death since their inception. Just sayin'

Was just reminded of the amazing mechanical sound sculpture thread over at the lines forum:
I've always been a fan of Tristan Perich's 1-bit Symphony. The idea was that the listener would be present during the creation of the music by making it generated via programming versus a recording.
Overview:

I hate that shit. I bought a Pierre Schaeffer box set from some store in France that Amazon didn't have and I had to create an account for this store that I know I will never use again. That shit pisses me off.
Back on topic, wind harps are cool. I saw a similar video to the ones below once where giant tubes where placed near an ocean and it created these beautiful drones. If anyone knows WTF I am talking about, please post it.
Yeah I can certainly sympathize with that?
Are you talking about this sculpture in Croatia? Was just coming in to post this, oddly enough.

Bleep Labs has some interesting stuff. I have a Thingamagoop and it's pretty fun to play around with. Some weird noises in there.
I agree. Played one at the Moog factory store. Lots of cool sounds and tons of fun.

The Geophone. A topographical based, 3d scan to drone algorithmic instrument. It'd be fun to loop a couple of these.

I've wanted a Cidrax ($750), since I first saw this video. One day...
I love Ciat Lonbarde stuff. I've actually been considering selling all my modular and buying a few of them. It's really not that insanely expensive considering everything that it does. I always wanted a PB2 and Coco, but that video just sold me on the Cidrax too
