welcoming the daxophone
I recently made a great instrument swap with talented builder Daniel Fishkin; he got a sound camera and a dR0NEMATr1X, and I got a beautiful custom built daxophone! Its really fun to play and has the unusual power to imitate animal voices.

Here’s a recording of my maniacal and amateurish daxophone stylings. The accompaniment is electronic percussion from a pair of analog percussion circuits I’m designing, based on TR808 sounds with ‘extraterrestrial’ modifications.

The sound camera project is alive and well, with a newly designed high fidelity preamp. Now I’m ready to capture video field recordings; here’s a demo cut. The raw audio is pure, but unfortunately youtube has added distortion and crackling noise.
