ITP Spring Show 2009: Video Drive-by: CrudBox

Also from the NYU's Interactive Technology Program spring show, a remarkable take on the venerable drum machine. Steven Litt has gone extra analog with his CrudBox, which drives hacked doorbell solenoids to bang on pieces of scrap material, creating a more organic sound than what usually emerges from a digital sequencer. The sounds produced can then be processed through all manner of effects pedals, which are also contained in the rather mysterious looking hard case body.

Definitely a different experience from the typical electro-beat sound, and you've got to love the dramatic red lighting.
