METSÄÄN MCP #1 - Musique Concrète Platform

Here’s the first build of an MCP (Musique Concrète Platform) The demo starts with a lenghty improvisation. Watch the whole video for more descriptive details ( and check out the links below for more. Nothing new, it’s an ancient and classic concept of a modular experimental music instrument. 2 channel contact microphone experimental sound set-up. It contains the Metsään charge amplifier for contact microphones with a wide frequency range response that includes BASS, not just the usual tinny pure piezo disc squeals. The 2 outputs have individual volume controls for more complex signal routing and adjustments for the mics in the left and right hemispheres of the platform. An array of clamps and brackets make it possible to attach all kinds of material and resonance bodies/receptors in a modular fashion, so you can have different set-ups for different sessions or swap parts on the fly and record the engineering sounds as well. The MCP consists of a recycled and painted wooden box and has a strip of coarse sandpaper in its middle for some extra crunchy sounds. Comes with a selection of objects and a cushioning industrial felt mat for table sound isolation and feedback reduction and a 9V battery block with adapter clip. #metsään #thismachinekillsfascists #musiqueconcrete
