You have to see this. The Hammond Novachord restoration project

  Another unique instrument from Aaron Sherwood , the Magnetophone . I've previously covered his Glockentar.

  I've covered the quirky original ANS synthesizer before. This is the synthesizer used by Eduard Artemyev on soundracks for movies such as Solyaris and Stalker . A virtual ANS software synthesizer has been made, and best of all it is totally free!

A must-see for any synth enthusiast, this short documentary is about the birth of electronic music in Britain. Watch the documentary here on Open Culture .  Some topics included are BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, the EMS VCS 3 synthesizer , and features Tristram Cary and Peter Zinovieff in it.

  This is an insteresting concept: solenoids play glockenspiel imitating you while you play the strings. It is called the Glockentar and made by Aaron Sherwood .

  Here's a DIY hacked Cynthcart, which is connected to the NES, making this a synthesizer with the power of both the C64 SID and the NES audio chip.

If you don't know what a whamola is, this video will make it clear for you. For more info and build instructions, head to this post at Hack a day .
