 ICFSB>>>HEAVY METAL DEMPA-GON<<< My final entry...Heavy Metal Dempa-gon and his sidekick Ampa-gon! Very little airbrushing with this one. I wanted to give him the real appearance of being made of all scrap metal and electronic bits. I imagined Dempa-gon would sound like the short circuiting electronic devices that are part of his body. so... Continuing with my electronic custom experiments...I've installed a light sensitive theremin type device into his eye. When connected to the amp (Ampa-gon), the electronic sounds can be manipulated by using a flashlight. More info at my blog... Video Here... http://www.vimeo.com/3996859“Rising from a giant forgotten heap of scrap metal, discarded electronics, and toxic sludge…a creature has formed…a creature born of man’s carelessness…Heavy Metal Dempa-gon!
Unable to generate a vocabulary on it’s own, the hulking metal monster creates a demented symbiotic side-kick…the ultra-sonic Ampa-gon.
Ampa-gon has the ability to broadcast HMDG’s electronic, ear-drum shattering screams and wails upon the unsuspecting population of Tokyo!”

Re: ICFSB>>>HEAVY METAL DEMPA-GON<<< Oh... you will Lee! I'll be bringing these in next week. I imagine I should email you first so I can arrange a demo of the smoking gas bawer and the theremin- dempa before I leave them to do you bidding

Re: ICFSB>>>HEAVY METAL DEMPA-GON<<< Whoa !
I love how you additions all are so clean and made so that it looks like it was meant to be. This is how it should be done !
I wish I could see this in person.
Do you have a vid of it just making the noises without the added music ?

Re: ICFSB>>>HEAVY METAL DEMPA-GON<<< Awesome work, dude! Photo-theremins are are super-cool. If you're into simple analog synth kits, check out the Thingamakit from http://www.bleeplabs.com. It's a fun little kit that, once completed, makes a bunch of great noises and has a 1/4" output so you an hook it up to amps and effects. Last year, I put one into a 10" Mad*L for a group show and it came out looking and sounding pretty cool. I can't wait to see this one in person. Nice job.
