Lush Acoustic Feedback Patch with Mutable Rings

Check out this neat feedback patch, running a selfmade string contraption through the eurorack modular synthesizer! The instrument is made from a solid piece of spruce, roundwound bass strings, some ukulele tuning mechanics leftovers from the last experiment and a couple of LEGO Technic bushings to help and keep the strings in place. The strings are excited with a felt plectrum, picked up with piezo contact mics, routed through our TausenddB piezo preamp and into Mutable Instruments rings resonator module. Rings' output is pitch modulated using Tom Whitwell's Music Thing Modular Turing Machine (from Thonk) and fed to our Dynaudio nearfield speakers, which return the signal through the wooden baseplate into the piezos, creating the beautiful blooming feedback. The shimmer on top is a TC Electronic Hall of Fame pedal, with the EHX Stereo Memory Man adding extra layer of delay. If you enjoy this kind of thing, check out Leaf Audio 's fantastic Microphonic Soundbox from Exploding Shed, and also Musicdiscoverylab who creates awesome sound objects as well!
