Well, after having won 3 competitions with the ‘iPhonograph’ (see post) I moved on to something a bit funkier, Googly Sound, and built to represent a sense of quirky fun.
Googly Sound was created using old car horns (from an Indian taxi minus the rubber bulb which I have saved for another project – don’t discard anything interesting!) and I have used it to play an iPhone and to amplify a guitar. It works! The guitar amplified through Googly Sound was quite sufficient but just to increase the power I used a DI box which made for less distortion.
Here is what it looks like, an alien!
For those of you interested in how I made it, have a look at this instructable: Googly Sound.
This is what it sounds like, I am playing an excerpt from an Indian-Middle Eastern inspired song composed by Rebecca Kypri-Inacio and lyrics by Lisa D Sampson. The song is called ‘Anti-Bacterial Personality’ and is slated to be released as part of an original musical soundtrack by the team.
