This is a brief tribute to the experimental work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, made by Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle).
All the sounds and loops originate from the BC8 synth, the Gakken SX-150 synth and the BugBrand Weevil synths. All the effects and processing is done with the Boss pedals.
“Oh yeah,” notes Carter. “I did the whole thing ‘upside down’.”

Saturday Synth Porn: The ‘official’ Throbbing Gristle Gristleizer launch ceremony photo.
Smashing Guitars has announced the release of the first of their new product line, the Gristleizer.
The Gristleizer is an extremely rare and unique unit. Originally designed by Roy Gwinn in 1976, the Gristleizer is based on a design published in Practical Electronics and sold in kit form by Phonosonics. Chris Carter of the British industrial music and visual arts group Throbbing Gristle modified the kit in 1977, unleashing what is known as the Gristleizer.
Lost to time, the unit has been re-designed and produced by Smashing Guitars Owner/Engineer Todd Kelley, with assistance from Charlie Howes. After months of research and consultation with Gwinn and Carter, the audio path has been kept original– “we’ve taken what people love about the sounds of the original Gristleizer, and given them much more” says Kelley.
The Gristleizer had its initial release at the sold out Throbbing Gristle performance at Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago on April 25, 2009, one of their first performances in the USA in 28 years. Read more…
