This piece entitled "the box of Secrets" is a culmination of years of work. Every button, every switch is hand designed. Utilizing my former work as a silver smith and blending it with my current work as an instrument designer.

The piece is housed in a very fine old hard wood box with removable lid. It is based on two sections - one is an expanded version within the collaborational "filanthropod" series, the other is a digital delay. The filanthropod section creates the most unusual and sweet drones and noise with interspersed rhythmic oddities. This running into the delay is a very rich sound.

The delay has a good sample time and range and can be altered to add tons of texture to the incoming sound from the filanthropod section. And the switch array section can be used as a patchbay with supplied patch lugs (not pictured) for even more combinations - of the ten points present, any one can be connected to any other - basically adding hundreds of possibilities for delay textures and synthesis.

More details to come, still fine tuning.
