zen Sutherland Art and Sound
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2009
Living in a visual and sonic world of art (from graffiti to filmmaking) and sound (circuit bending noise to piano covers), I am here to entertain and instruct. I'm happily eclectic almost to the point of chaos, but i try to keep it organized!
Building my perfect Korg and Bastl Combo in a Silverware box, but wanted to try a little jam first.
I'm at the point of putting my Bastl and Korg Modular (all dupont connectors) into one box. Found the perfect fit in silverware box to keep things tidy. Also created a junction box with multiple splits, buttons and knobs to att components instead of using my normal breadboard kludge.
At this point the Bastl Arp and Wizard were not used.

A Brief Overview of Projects I've Completed this Year, 2024 from Cicada Hats to Talking Anatomies
มุมมอง 270วันที่ผ่านมา
In my retirement I create stuff that interests me. Little electronic art projects, circuit bending toys, sound stuff. This is all separate from my photography and other art, but I thought i'd enjoy putting together the little noisy things I've managed to complete this year. There were many more incomplete and failure to get off the ground things, but that's ok. That's how I learn. - Project Cha...
Practice Jam on my homemade Kaossitar

I put a Kaossilator and Mini-KP into a guitar-like format, using a Guitar Hero neck and square body and just some practice with it before i play live. Video of how it's made: th-cam.com/video/K05Nm2A8hAo/w-d-xo.html
How to build a Kaossitar, a handmade guitar with Korg's Kaossilator & FX processor and a Guitar Hero
มุมมอง 13321 วันที่ผ่านมา
I wanted to play the Kaossilator with the KP-mini together live and decided to make it look more like a guitar, so i took the neck from an older Guitar Hero neck and rewired the buttons to perform various functions such as record and gate and added a sustain button. An interesting challenge that gives it a new feel and a one-handed activation. How to take the Korgs apart and the wiring and case...

All 9 Effects of the Bastl Kastle 2 FX Wizard on a Circuit Bent Toy
มุมมอง 774หลายเดือนก่อน
I decided to try my new FX Wizard with a simple circuit-bent saxophone toy that can be kind of annoying to see how well this little beast can mangle the sound and was pleasantly surprised! While i'm anxious to learn to use FX Wizard, i'm easily confused by the color scheme and needed a sort of 'cheat sheet' to help me remember which of the 9 effects go with what color, so the effect is shown in...

QUIT EATING CHILDREN! And other people yelling at residents of Asheville, NC during the Trump Visit
มุมมอง 3.5K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, Wed August 14th, the Trump contingent came out of the woods and the woodwork to see their leader speak and to support him. Because Asheville is generally a liberal conclave in a sea of conservatives, the liberals were protesting with signs and it was all generally civil. A few got their panties in a wad though.
Abandoned Ice Factory, Asheville - circa 2004
มุมมอง 685 หลายเดือนก่อน
Asheville River Arts District had several factories and Asheville Ice & Storage was one of them, built in 1906. It served Asheville's cooling needs and lay abandoned for many years providing shelter for homeless and real estate for graffiti writers to practice on. It was demolished in 2013 leaving only the old smoke stack.
I Killed this Vtech Circuit Bent KidiJamz DJ Studio twice before salvaging what i could. First test.
มุมมอง 1.6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Circuit bending Newer Vtech toys are a bit of a challenge for me. Extra tiny SMD parts and multiple black blobs hiding the main circuitry make it hard to get past the intended sounds. I used 28 gauge wires to solder and an LTC1799 for pitch bend and a couple of thumbtacks for body contact points, but after trying voltage starve and resistor/capacitor connections, it suddenly failed to work.

LED Flame panel. The cheapest and safest fireplace!

OK, it's done! For this DIY project I used FastLED library running on an Adafruit Circuit Playground with 5 short LED strips to make my own fire display. The trickiest part was getting just the right light diffusion that didn't look like a bunch of LEDs being random. In a way, distance from the LEDs is the most important aspect. So i started with a layer of bubble wrap. On top of that - and bec...

Yep! Good to see a fellow AVL'er!
That's awesome
Thanks!
Yeahhhhhhh🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Happy New Year…..party time!
🥳🥳🥳 Right back at you!
Gorgeous work, congratulations!!!
Thank you so much!!
Please show me inside wiring i want to connect the same wires from inside. Same piano i have. please please 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
I couldn't figure how to show photos, so i put them in 'community.' Here: th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn_xk0NHj5qe6AvVy8Kb-FMd8U35-0omA?si=DComLLwXvs7lNsVX
@zenSutherland if i send you the pictures of inside Kawasaki board of circuit can you help me out which wire will connect on which point. Plzz❤️ that will be so grateful🥲 🥲
I love your work Zen!
Ditto and welcome to the Mutual Admiration Society!
So fun. I need to come over more in 25 and work on some circuit bend stuff. Then we can talk and plan the live shows more. I do like how many live shows we did last year. Prob the most nightmare of noise shows I have ever done in one year since it started in 2011!
I do think we're getting better response, or maybe we're getting better at it? NoN still feels cutting edge and exploratory to me and i enjoy it. Yes to coming over and working circuit bend stuff, even if it's just putting jacks on toys! Love you Toybox.
You rock dude.
Same!
cool stuff.
Thanks!
Cool!
Thanks!
Too fun!! I can kinda see how some of it works, too!
It's a journey that's for sure.
cool
Thanks!

Oh, i'm sure! Good luck!
No words but stunning!😮
All thanks! :)
Amazing as usual! You have to do a solo next NON!❤
You should try it - it's kinda fun!
Cool!

Cool!
Thanks babe!

Thank you, master!
This is great! Love the idea of the kaoss pad and kaoscillator under one hand. Synth-tars are the future!
The future is ours! LOL
That is righteous! Wow! The kaoss pad/oscillator were my first steps in experimental music and sound manipulation. Your design takes it to a whole new level
I'll probably sprain a finger trying to get the sound i want, but it'll be WORTH IT! LOL
That is bad-ass!
Thanks! Fun to make, funner to play!

Great footage and soundtrack. “Locations & Circuits” I have a few videos for the series…..📽️🎥🎞️📺
Thank you! Amazing fun.
Uh,,,,, awesome! Have you sold any of your gizmos to Mark at Mutato Studios? Now that I think about it, I think I might have asked you that before a while back?
No, but he's a hero of mine! And my cousin went to school with him in Ohio. I'm probably at the point of selling off some of my stuff anyway - thinking maybe Etsy...
Yeah the colors are something you just have to remember. I was trying to convince them to put a screen on it but other people at bastl didn't like it.
Good thing they provide that little cheat sheet, but my color vision is slightly different. Thanks for trying though @machmar!
@@zenSutherland It's funny, you have that different color vision problem. We were just talking about it yesterday, how people with color blindness will find it harder to use.
Still, it's a pretty impressive little unit. I have all the little Bastl's from Dude, ARP, Drum and Kastle and love them. Thank you for all you do!!
@@zenSutherland Thank you for the support! More stuff (that you specifically will like) coming pretty soon!
Ding! Ding! Ding! That's a reply i like!
Nice. We gotta do a sax duet on Saturday
This is SO good!

Weird,just weird.

Also the record and playback function when you press play or when you press record it’s all monophonic when you put it into record it goes into some monophonic mode which means you can’t play Notes at the same time which means you can only play one note at a time Also in the playback as well it’ll do the same thing it’s because the chip only has a certain amount of memory and I don’t know why else but it does that
These ones are good for bending you could’ve abuse these
Have you ever seen or heard of this toy before? It’s like a frog but it’s a drum and it has drum pads and it was made by Playschool The toy has three big buttons which make drum sounds And which are drum pads and then it has another button type thing which is the symbol which I believe can be moved around it also has a recording playback function and it assigned the recordings to music originally when you press the play button it says hop to the music or something like that but when you press the record button you can record anything The microphone is built into the device The toy has various other sound effects including different drum samples and frog samples it also has various musical styles and effects the toy I believe even had its own pitch controller with a limited range as well but it had a big speaker on off switch was by the speaker which was a push button switch that when you would push it it would go in and stuff like that I think there were some weird plastic drumsticks that came with it but it’s a pretty toy It’s a pretty interesting toy Why I thought about this toy it’s because I thought that this toy might be the perfect toy for a bender to get their hands on and it glitches sometimes as well with all of its capabilities and it sounds it could be a great toy band A great toy to bend There’s also another toy that is like a jukebox that has kind of like a touchscreen control which is kind of hard and interesting it has an on off button volume control knob and I believe even speed control then you could add different effects like different effects like a dog barking and other things like that I think you could record on it as well and I think it’s called silly sounds jukebox but it would be great to bend
Did you manage to bend the kittyplayer? that’s the device that hooks onto the activity center and can record stuff it looks like a cheesy iPad type of thing from the 2000s because I believe this toy was a designed around 2009 2010 but yeah that little gadget is supposed to slide into the slot and it’s supposed to play whatever you record on the keyboard and it’s supposed to like export it onto that little player thing and you could take it out I believe there’s a microphone and a headphone and a microphone input but I don’t know how it would work as a standalone device
Unfortunately, i didn't come with that at the Goodwill where i bought it...
Mexicans?
The worst thing about these MAGA people when they gather is they might procreate...uughhh. No felons in the Oval Office. No to Project 2025.
I been through two of these darn things these things use crystals as their timer right
Yeah, and that's why i had to use the LTC1799 - but still managed to half-kill it once.

This post is to @nolwino, since TH-cam keeps deleting my direct response to him: @nolwino @nolwino OK. I'll bite. Education: The teacher's union is one of the most corrupt, harmful organizations in American society, fully endorsed by Harris. Political experience: Ha. As a resident of CA, I am suffering the effects of her supposed 'experience' and policies every day. She devastated our state. Policies: Which policies? Those radical socialist policies she espoused for years, or those more moderate policies she is pretending to have now in order to get elected? Women's rights: I assume you refer to abortion...the states will decide, and neither party is proposing a federal ban. I left an innocuous comment condemning, among other things, the bias vitriol of both sides. You picked a fight. With all due respect, until we realize that opposing views MUST be recognized and tolerated, we will never have a functioning society.
I'm seeing your post to @nolwino, perhaps it just took time to post?
