Trace momentary switches

I realize etching six momentary switches is taking the long way around a problem, but I couldn't resist. This board will be included as part of a larger controller I'm putting together, and should have photos of in about a week.

Live at The Whistler, October 16, 2011 by Lady Rollins

Caroline: reading from her book "Psycho Dream Factory" and projecting a video loop she'd made (I'm told there was a proper video recording as well-- look for an updated post once I get my hands on it)

Devin: prepared tape players

Jess: Thingamagoop

Peter: modular synthesizer

Lady Rollins strikes again!

EDIT: this show is happening on SUNDAY not Saturday. NOT TODAY. TOMORROW. Whoops!

Everyone's favorite A/V/poetry ensemble Lady Rollins is playing THIS SATURDAY at The Whistler, along with readings by Ben Tanzer and The Dirty Poet. Jason Behrands (of Orange Alert) hosts. All at the early bird hour of 6pm! Be there!!

Tiny passive nearfields

I had a couple of 2" paper cone speakers lying around and was looking for an excuse to get back on the laser cutter. A $2 investment in Masonite later, I built these:




The "S"/"M" (speaker/microphone) switch flips the polarity on the speaker.

Not surprisingly, they sound like third-hand Auratones... I'm going to work on the enclosure design and source other speaker types to see if I can get some semblance of bass response out of these things. In the meantime, I think they look nice and will work fine as special effect speakers. Success!
