what would you do with a broken turntable?
recycling it as a wall clock is a good idea

OK, it’s not only from paper
but all you needed to get audio d-touch to work is
- a standard computer (PC or Mac)
- a webcam
- a printer
- paper

check out the video and make your own!
huge fun

the coconut headphones are perfect for listening jungle beats
Iwan Roberts reconditioned this pair of headphones
using coconut husks and some twine

these casette lamps by ooomydesign are brilliant
but the best thing is that they look quite easy to recreate them at home
so if you have enough cassettes and  some courage make some
looks really fun
of course you can always go on the asey way and buy these

the physical sequencer is a grid-based, human-scale interface for musical expression, or in other words, a totally kool tool for doing crazy live acts

Transistori is a percussion group from Oulu, Finland. Specialized in self-made instruments built from scrap and recycled material. Transistori's music is improvisation, which requires listening to the other group members and knowing their playing style by heart.

The Shooting took place in a closed power plant at the Toppila cellulose factory built in the 1930's
Transistori was challenged to play the old factory hall and utilize the sounds found there, as well as their own instruments.

The documentary is divided into three parts. Each part consists of one set. The sets were recorded on six cameras and twenty microphones. No overdubs have been made.

The documentary uses visual means to explore the true essence of Transistori behind the soundscapes and rhythms.

Director: Ilmari Huttu-Hiltunen
