Gijs Gieskes beautiful spinning photoelectronic acid machine

The first few minutes of this great clip are a bit warble-warble blah-blah, but about 2 minutes in it kicks off into crazy acid noise. Full details of the box are on Gijs' site, including a PHP tool to design and print spinning disks according to the frequencies you've chosen. Love the highres pics of the box, complete with a hand-drawn, hand-etched circuit board...

Wow! another stunning beautiful creation. Have you seen his camera sequencer? It just blows me away.

Wow, the Casio SK-1 was my very first sampling synth I owned. As for the Gieskes device: simply stunning!

I was lucky to play with the sequencer once... the spinning disc is even cooler in real life! As for gieskes himself, really friendly guy...
