Wired article "I drew out the dimensions in 3D software," Molin said, starting with an 80cm cube on which the machine was built. But after that the machine was made using a technique philosophically similar to that of moulage -- or moulding clothes directly onto a fashion doll. Each piece was built by Molin, moulded and adjusted gradually, leading to its gloriously misshapen final form. Thanks for this.He scheduled two months to build the machine; it took 14.
I have to wonder if he was inspired by this old bit of digital awesomeness :
ehhhhh... that's sort of like calling a synth that can play multiple samples at once "multiple instruments". One mechanism is being used to play all the music, unlike say, a one man band, where every instrument usually has its own trigger. notice how he puts on the drum triggers while he does the harmonica solo.
