Thanks to the always wonderful Matrix Synth for alerting me to Robert Schroder, some kind of German new-age synth pioneer guy. On his website, he sells a kit to make a 1/10th scale model of his studio (Atari ST, Roland XP-60 workstation from 1998, old Tascam desk, antique Sony F1 betamax audio recorder). Each item is sold separately, as a flat piece of card. You have to cut it out, fold it, and glue it yourself. If you bought the full studio, it would cost €281.50. He'll cut them out for you, if you're willing to pay around €500.
By comparison: here is a completely free papercraft Moog Modular, here is a pre-cut, pre-scored Arp 2600 for €15. Then, of course, is the mind-bogglingly beautiful and awesome work of Daniel McPharlin, who builds beautiful little cardboard synths and sells them (very quickly) for €60-80. (via Matrix Synth)
The animated gif on his web site made me laugh so hard that i was almost sick.

FWIW, I'm a huge robert Schroder fan.
ReplyDeleteNothing new age about his music, check out 'computer voice' and 'Paradise' (in particular the stunning "time machine").
Given he's a bit of a synth geek (he built one of those modulars himself) why not sell what you do for your hobby?
Ok, I wouldn't buy it, but I do think they're kinda cool :-)
Here's the Arturia Moog Modular V papercraft model:
