All right so it's been over a year since I last made a new post here. A lot has happened in this period.
First of all my .com domain expired and before I got the chance to renew I discovered to my surprise that it'd been bought by someone else, I suspect godaddy does this to get people to negotiate a buy-back fee which is a dirty move so right now you can find this blog on dogenigt.blogspot.com
I've been moving a lot so all my gear and the entire workshop is currently stored in my rural home where I am renovating so I haven't been able to build and produce anything.
I also chose to cancel my studies for my master's degree at the academy of music due to stress and other health issues so my mind hasn't really been focused that much around electronics and music.
I've been more or less homeless over the (harsh scandinavian) winter and staying at friends but I am moving into an old farmhouse with my brother on the 1st of may so my plan is to gather some of my gear and get a small studio going again.
To make a recap of where I left off a year ago,
my DIY modular project was going into all sorts of directions as I was really inspired to do all kinds of raw and untraditional modules.
I got to mounting the magic eye tubes for the 4 channel mixer and the VU-meter nixie tubes for the stereo main out module with EQ for both channels as you can see in the bottom case.
In the top case I mounted volt- and amp-meter for the PSU and a breadboard module with banana jacks for interfacing. This could be a neat little module for testing new circuits and have them ready for experimenting on the go.
The green screen to the far right is actually an old gameboy with backlight with LSDJ cartridge and a vintage magnifier screen from a dias-photo viewer. The red wires going from the gameboy are going to a NES-joypad which I succesfully got working so I'll be able to control the gameboy from afar as the gameboy is enclosed in the case.
On top of the case is my microcassette tape delay and two cassette tape players from a stereo tape deck which I am planning on building into a third case for a tape delay.
On the far right is an old tape player from a car stereo which I want to make into a monophonic tape voice unit with CV-control for the motor to control the pitch.
More to come!
