Inspiration

  • MUSIC FROM OUTER SPACE – Ray was a synth DIY legend, and his Weird Sound Generator was got me inspired to start trying to make electronic noise boxes.
  • BUGBRAND – My first noise box was a Bugbrand Weevil ’08, so Tom has a lot to answer for…! Beautiful thing. Really helpful and generous with daft questions from novices too.
  • NIC COLLINS / HANDMADE ELECTRONIC MUSIC – My bible – an amazing book, easy to read, and my first experiments from it have been almost successful.
  • The S0und 0f L0g1c – Take off in hundreds of weird and wonderful ways from the Nic Collins Book – enthused, creative characters, with lots of CMOS based noise circuits. I’ll be back there a lot.
  • DIRTY ELECTRONICS – beautiful artworks making noise. will be having a crack at these. particularly in love with the skull postcard

Supplies

  • BITSBOX – excellent, friendly, fast UK supplier of components and electronics kit. highly recommended.
  • THONK – Brighton based dealer in the simplest Eurorack DIY module, and soon, more complicated ones… now the go to place for any synth builders
  • RAPID ONLINE – used for first enclosures. great range, tho postage expensive on small orders.
  • DOWNSTROKE MUSIC – Brilliant for groovy knobs.
  • MUSIKDING – For 9mm potentiometers, if nothing else! (They are good and quick for international tho)
