Sunday Synth Jam: This video, Kraft Test Drummie & Robert Plant, captures a demented duet for a sponge-controlled circuit-bent drum toy and a Drawdio-style 555 oscillator instrument, controlled by a Plectranthus Australis.

If only people would spend as much time composing and refining their music as they do fucking around with wires and gadgets…
thats pretty much the first think that went through my mind: i envy the people that can afford this waste of time.
Haha, you are rigth ,for the next one we should try with some Bartok’s duets, or maybe some Johan Halvorsen’s Passacaglia, hope that will be refined enough for ya!
It’s great. They are doing, not whining (like some commenters) or waiting around for ready-made commercial gear. This is the way new things are invented and discovered!
I appreciate that this was all played live on improvised instruments, and wasn’t just plinky plonk artsy fartsy stuff. Good for you two! And it was ridiculous, which was also fun.
Thanks!!!
