Unatronics Musical Instruments
I build electronic and electro-acoustic musical instruments. Stuff like drum machines, synthesizers, amplified and processed traditional folk instruments, and interesting sound experiments. Everything is some combination of handbuilt electronics, found objects, custom fabrication, and handpainting. I like to rescue special objects from the waste stream and give them a second life with a completely different purpose. For instance, I scavenge a lot of hardwoods from furniture that is being thrown away. My goal is give people an open-ended creative space that generally sounds good and look beautiful, but also allows a wide range of expression which can include the more extreme ends of audio processing/deconstruction and saturated psychedelia.
