Tetrazzi Organus Assembly Doc

New Instrument Designs:

Cocostuber is an 8bit sampling delay, resonant filters, and press-barre control for a total mangler solution.  The first finished cocostuber is a super-custom incorporating the newest Deerhorn circuit.
Tetrazzi Organus Assembly Doc

Tetrazzi is the newest incarnation of the Organus series, a mandala of analog oscillator circuits that can cross-modulate to form the empire of infinite circuitry known as pure sonic chaos.

The tetrazzi boards shall be assembled by machine in Colorado, they will be perfect, and sonde-tested here in the workshop in Baltimore.  All you need to complete it is four piezo barres, four bottons, four knobs, two output jacks, twelve studdes of brass, and a battery clip; all the hard stuff having already been done by a machine man!

We are at pre-order stage which has the incentive of being the first to get this wonderful kit or finished instrument. May thou place thine order by Christmas, and receive a triangular certificate by post for presenting to thine loved one.  Orders will be completed first thing in 2010. There are several tiers, starting with just the board, populated with components, which is useful for the hobbyist who has the control components and wants to custom encase it, all the way up to a finished Organ, encased in Oak with barres and touch nodes ready to play.
  • package contains only the board populated with micro-components.

  • package contains the populated board and also buttons, piezos, potentiometers, knobs, power input, battery jack, wire, and output jacks.

  • package contains all above plus oak case, screws.

  • package contains completed organ.

2 notes for foreign customers:
  • Many countries charge VAT, or value-added tax, for any imports.  Although I myself am paying taxes to the U.S. government for my income, your country still wants to own a slice of the pie.  Therefore they ask me to declare the nature of my shipment, under penalty of perjury.  Perjury- that means if I lie, then I can be hung!  Upside down!  So...  please do not ask me to declare it as a gift, or as a sample.  I have heard this a million times.  If you want a communist government, then pay them for importing cultural capital, I don't care!  I just don't want to be hung upside down.  So, Listen Up, all packages are declared merchandise.  (unless they're not) be prepared to pay VAT
  • Now, also, I am not in the business of importing power supplies to export them again.  So, all instruments shipped outside Northern U.S.A come without a power supply.  This is, for every single instrument sold here, a 12V DC Wallwart, with 2.5mm jack, tip positive, sleeve ground.  You can use a  9 volt battery until you find this adapter.

"Random thought: your circuits spark thoughts on complex systems and biological sound making, like a bird calling to its mate and the mate returning a proportional but different call, or certain types of cells sending chemical signals to induce other cells to commit certain actions that relate to the cells around them.  something like the petals in cocolase influencing one another in seemingly logical ways that when followed through create totally open, eruptive events." -Cameron

"I am still so in love with the Sidrassi. I have a massive collection of instruments from all over the world (plus a degree in guitar!) and the Sidrassi is one of the most magical things I've ever played. It's so very much like an African instrument in that it kinda teaches you how to play it. (And it's an instant babe magnet! I show up at a gig with this thing and I'm COOL. When was the last time THAT happened in human history? 1959 if you had a Stratocaster?) I turn it on and I'm in the other world.
It removes the "coldness" of an electronic keyboard and the numb sterility of computer sound and it makes electronic sound immediate, warm and sensual. Hey! Maybe THAT'S why the ladies love it! Thanks so much, Nick"

"i well received this incredible mutating phenomenon
i so happy to play with him every time ,he plays with me to.
so my tentacular schizophrenic brain have another way to be
thank u"

Hello Peter.
I'm only want to tell you that the Sidrassi is the most interesting device to make artistic sound, abstract music or weird noise i ever have, and also is very funny to play it. Each time i play it i find new sound, textures and amazing music ways.
Is a very creative device, and i hope than i could have more of your instruments in the future. I also want to thank you about the Sejayno disk you've give me,i like so much and i think that is very interesting and original.
 
Thank you very much, and congratulations about the Sidrassi Organus,
Rafa.
