the Melo-8 lofi sampler

The past week i have been collecting materials for my future synthesizers and guitars while exploring the beaches here in northern Norway.

you can find some really beautiful wood pieces laying in the sand. i get super inspired. i think i might make a guitar soon. its kind of like a tressure hunt. but im looking for trash to make trashy synthesizers.

on another note, how did we end up here. its an absurd world we live in, where i instead of looking for beautiful shells and stones in the water, i am looking for thrown away wood and plastic from old bottles and containers. Im not saying we live in a dystopian movie, but we are living in a dystopian nightmare already. at least thats what it feels like.

to conclude: we need drastic systemic change. and wey make trashy synths and guitars out of trash.. also here are some goats

been working on this sampler for the last year. finally got inspired to somewhat finish it. its made out of a wood box, axoloti core and a broken old keyboard. its 8 samplers that each have an individual rate control and master pitch and stretch knobs. plus some effects. hope to share some more stuff, and more in detail videos about the melo-8. hope you get inspired.
