The exotic sciences of ‘mirlitronics’ and ‘mirlisonics’ are probably beyond the comprehension of most.

Undaunted, the Mirlitrons recently decided to move their electron-control experiments into the frequency range of 0 – 40 kHz.

Here, MirlitronOne enumerates the various features of the Bongotnik, a bongo-playing analogue computer from the Mirlisonics Studio. This instrument is based on the Popular Electronics Audio Artist, but with a few “mirlitronic minor modifications”.

It seems that many other singular devices are to be found in the Mirlisonics Studio; several of these are documented at the MirlitronOne channel on YouTube.

If you can further elucidate mirlitronics or mirlisonics, your comments would be welcome.

Deleted that comment – linked to a page that offered tips for genital health.

I'll email you the link if you need it, though!

Did someone misunderstand and think that my bong had got nicks?

that guy has a voice made for one shot samples… I can just imagine him giving calm directions to the audience… in that hella sweet accent…

That guy disguises his presence on planet Earth by teaching in a British University by day…

Yes – his true calling may be to make a sample library of choice phrases, rendered with faux British University accent.

Phrases like:

"You may dance now."

"Unleash the bass.", and

"You can see the doctor in the morning."

You should not fear him. See him as a friend, not as a faux.
