It is over 3000 square meters, so it is a bit of a challenge, but we are prepared.

APC space wired 1.0

Last night i fitted space wired APC inside a Osram Centra bulb (diameter 80mm and length 160mm).

It's controlled whit two LDR's they need to be at very dark to start oscillating at audio frequency, so it's kind of optimised for gigs at dark places. It has also microphone stand adapter.



thre is a short video clip on youtube:

APC video


I also cutted some bigger bulbs, so more of glasware-electronics are here soon.

New Circuit Bending Techniques

There are a lot of different ways to approach the devices you´ve decided to circuit bend. Some people touch the pcb with their fingers to find new and intresting noises and then there are some people who use a little bit different techniques. Here´s a video about some guys technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIipLL_uKKg

AEE projectblog

We started new project-blog for more detailed project descriptions. First featured project is Harris "Joystick to noisestick" project.

Media attention

I just came back from TV1 program kirppis. Had a chance to demonstrate some of our equipment in a live show, and to talk alittle about experimenta electronics in general.

The show was not on the website, at least last time I checked, but shold be rerunned on tuesday.

The last TV show we were on TV2 Kamera kiertää is on-line, realmedia format, language finnish.

If you understand finnish, you can olso check what Teemu Purhonen wrote about us in Desibeli site.

There have been quite a lot of media interest lately, and some more coming very soon.

Network problems

We have had some problems with our server, our site koelse.org have been down for a while. It is not our fault, there is some bigger problem with our internet provider. Problem should be fixed soon, but in the meanwhile you can go to our temporary page here.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wilson Laboratories TX-1200

Strange machine in a suitcase i found from fleamarket. It looked nice enough to buy and wasn´t expensive. It is a exerciser for 7- and 9-track magnetic tape transports. It came with some magnetic tape reel and original manual. We should start studying possibilities to use it in our work.
