Making a cigar box into a synthesizer
Making a cigar box into a synthesizer ! What an idea.
A great one.
Video is well filmed and the sound is particularly nice. The DIY world is always full of creativity.
This short documentary weaves process, story and sound experimentation into a visceral cinema experience.
Box of Sound – documents the process of making a cigar box into a synthesizer by Antoine Kattar: circuit bender, musician, and audio hardware engineer.
The box is expertly put to use by Chicago electronic music producer Searchl1te, to create a truly unique song. Searchl1te is also shadowed as he gathers field recordings, breaking glass to create a snare and banging train cars for use as a bass drum.
