My new DIY MORE ROAR! entropic and degenerative synth built as part of a Dirty Electronics workshop at @weekofsound.bsky.social at @edincollegeofart.bsky.social. Designed by Dirty Electronics and Agnes Cameron, more info at moreroar.org/about.html
A photo of a DIY synthesiser made of nails, wood, copper wire, a few resistors and capacitors with a microprocessor at the center. It looks a bit like a spider.
