Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

More Electrified Instrument Names

(I think most, if not all, of these are keyboard instruments, as well.)

Telharmonium, Photona, Kaleidophon, Tuttivox, Synclavier, Multimonica, Emiriton, Variophone, Ariston, Terpsitone, Subharchord, Magnetophon, Mellotron, Staccatone, Clavilux, Novachord, Trautonium, Celluphone, Rhythmicon, Melodium, Composertron, Ondes Martenot, Magneton, Optigan, and Minifon

Another novel interface relying on variable resistance. What I want now (if you novel interface developers are listening) is a variable resistance-based instrument that doesn’t sound just like the others.
