Octopulse
Half Reeves & Mortimerhalf Chris Morris
and half genius (sorry, Fast Show
gag), the Octopulse is a thing or audio beauty as I’m sure you’ll all agree. “The Octopulse shows that noise is music. With this cuddly ‘alien bagpipe’ you can control analogue sound synthesis through unconventional means. The ‘tonetacles’ of the Octopulse react to movement and light, transferring movements into information for an analogue synthesiser to convert into cacophonous noises. This unconventional soundscape alters perceptions of what music could be and allows the electronic sounds of a synthesiser to be accessed by anyone. Play the Octopulse, go on a sonic trip and you become the master of noise.” [via]
