Michel Waisvisz - Touch Sound

Title link takes you to a fascinating post on Michel Waisvisz on We Make Money Not Art. Michel invented the crackle box.

"One of the co-founders of STEIM which co-hosted the MMW, Waisvisz is a composer/performer of live electronic music, who has invented new ways to achieve physical touch with electronic music instruments, for example by literally touching the electricity inside the instruments.

He discussed his fascination for the VC3, a synthetiser that can be used without a keyboard, adding that the idea of the keyboard comes from church music and thus carries a series of connotations with it. He bought a Putney VC3 synthesiser, opened its back and put his fingers inside. He thus used the body to extend the circuitry and modified the sound in ways he found interesting." This led to the invention of the crackle box.

Warning: Do not try this at home kiddies. I'd be a bit too paranoid of getting shocked myself.
