xjas Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I found this pic on Google Images - looks like a circuit-bent "TI-synth." There are some brief articles e.g. here and here from 2005~ish but they all link back to the creator's site for more info which is long gone. A few more odd photos show up on Flickr, etc. but that seems to be it. Anyone know anything about this machine? Who built it & what could it do?

carlsson Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Some of the original web site has been archived, but as usual Archive.org only captures text and doesn't follow in-site links, so the content is partial: https://web.archive.org/web/20060902055159/http://www.art-rash.com/pixelform/media/TI99/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjas Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) ^^ Didn't think to check the web archive. Shame the pictures are MIA. I found a video of a later iteration of the system here: Pretty cool stuff. (Note: if you don't like glitchy techno you're not gonna like this.) Wonder how he's driving the soundchip - is it just continuous tones being distorted by the patch panel/outboard effects or is he playing a sequence?

xjas Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 ...and also there's this, which is cool as hell: , but just about the only TI part left in it is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 "Circuit Bent". A form of artistry, I guess. To me, it's just ruining a perfectly good TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
