iDunno...

From the original Analog Industries archive. Some links and images from that era no longer resolve.

There seems to be some sort (or several sorts) of electronic music making device here, but color me retarded if I can’t figure it out. Someone here must be able to explain this. I have the distinct feeling this is one of those “breaking down the barriers between nature and music” kind of projects, the ones that earn people masters degrees in small “edgy” art colleges, but I can’t be certain.

What I can say is that the makers of the iLog site have a distinct and palpable sense of ironic humor, and that I can appreciate, whether any barriers are getting broken or not.

    What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs/
    Rolls over your neighbor's dog?

    There are a lot of similar such DIY noisebox synths around. The main idea behind these kinds of things is to make noise without a laptop. Laptop shows are pretty dull, laptop noise shows even more so (that of course depends on one's tolerance for noise shows. If you can't stand them, no amount of log is going to help).

    I'm guessing these guys just really liked Ren and Stimpy when they came up with their designs. It's all a bit too kitsch for me, though, but I can see the appeal for some.

    [edit]rats, mazacultura beat me to the Ren and Stimpy reference.

    It kind of looks like what would happen if the only place an experimental musician had to buy supplies was a gift shop in the Ozarks.

    Sounds just like crickets and electric shavers. Not suitable for Grindhouse.

    Actually, Grindhouse is pretty much the antithesis of "iLog". Grindhouse needs an enemy. ;)

    Their sound lathe project is pretty cool (and funnier).

    I'm just wondering where the hell you get lumber in Manchester. Sweden?

    You simply go to the backyard with a chainsaw everytime to need some wood for a DIY project. :)
