This short video, for Sony Walkman, captures Optrum peforming with the Optron, a strange musical instrument based on a fluorescent tube.

If you’ve got any additional information about Optrum or the Optron, leave a comment!

It lives! It lives!

“Noise performers extraordinaire”, The Loud Objects and Dr. Bleep have teamed up to create the first being of pure noise!

The Bit Blob is a digital noise maker that’s controlled by connecting its contacts together, allowing you to bend your way through unlimited sonic madness. You can also connect LEDs, audio outputs, or other Bit Blobs between control pins.

Only 30 will be made for this holiday season.
