Hi everybody, I haven't been really active on this forums in a while, too much work, too much stuff to do... but since I like chipmusic and I like you people here, I have a little something for you!
As you might know I work mainly as an illustrator and graphic designer, that's what I do to earn a living. I have some interesting projects from time to time, and I have a lot of boring one's, but what I really would like to do, is work for musicians, doing posters and album art.

So here here's my idea: if you like my style, and need someone to design/illustrate your next EP, I might do it for free.

And where's the catch you might ask. There's no catch, but there's conditions :

• I'll do this for free as long as the EP or LP is a non-profit thing (as it's mostly the case with chipmusic anyway). If you plan on selling it, we'll have to talk about it.

• To do a good job I need to really like the music. It must be something that inspires me. These things either happen, or they don't so I can't promise anything.

• I have a limited amount of time left after I do all the paid work, so don't expect me to deliver too quickly (though I will do my best not to make you wait for ages, and I've become pretty fast at doing my job anyway)

• I will not be the mere executor of your ideas, I want as much creative freedom as I can get! Though of course it will always be a process where both sides have their share.

• Don't ask me to draw in a different style than my own, don't ask me to imitate somebody else's style.

• Of course I'd like to be credited for my work

After having finally bought a new soldering iron (and having discovered that in fact I had a Weller iron laying sound, yet a broken one). I have started to do some experiments with a couple of devices I had laying around.
I don't know if you can call it circuit bending, but I think it's somewhere close to it.
First project was to mod the Beep-it optical theremin by Michael Una (http://una-love.com/munablog/) by adding a fan and a pot to control it. The pot does not only control the speed of the fan, but also modifies the sound a bit. it's a bit like the Synth Fan by Gieskes, only this one uses the fan to modulate the sound, and not as an oscillator. http://gieskes.nl)
The second one is also a really simple one, I took one of those lighters that play you some kind of 1 bit tune when you press the button (for Elisa in this case), and added a pot to control the voltage that get's fed through the circuit. I tried to find some more bending point, but on a circuit which consists of one transistor and some kind of microchip, there's not lot you can do. Still it produces some weird noise, which is fun!

here's a video of the devices in action:

The video shows the beep-it thing for the most part, in the end you get a glimpse of the second one.
The music you can hear at the beginning was made with samples taken from both devices, I only added the bass drum and the synth that kicks in after a couple of seconds.

Let me know what you think about it!
