Mysterious Instrument From Saturn

Freaks and their selfmade instruments … a never ending story. But often very interesting! Like in this case. At the “New Instruments Battle” a guy named Skot Wiedmann (no, he is not related to me!) won with his really obscure synthesizer: a modular synth connected through some sort of neural network. The controllers for this seems to be like two touch sensitive pads plus two endless wheels.
The whole thing looks like a 2010 version of a (ok, small) church organ. Not from this planet. Maybe it’s the one secret instrument from Saturn that Sun Ra brought with him on his travel but never played (even if it sounds like from an early record of him).
I don’t have a clue what this guy is doing but it looks and sounds so amazing that I wanted to share this with you. Watch and listen to this video to get an impression. Check also his website!
what is that? (What I said when looking at it and not reading your article).
I want one just for a talking piece for my apartment. People will walk in and say ” What The F…..” I tell them it makes music…impressive thanks Frank!
