Building my own Talky Boxy

After much downtime I have been working on a new album in my head and listening to some really good new music that has inspired me at a whole new level. I hear music in my head that I cannot wait to get out and on to tape…ok the computer but still… I have decided that the vocoder is not going to cut it for what I am hearing. I need a talk box. For those of you who don’t know what a talk box is I will explain. A talk box, in it’s simplist form, is a speaker that outputs sound through a tube. You then put the tube in your mouth and use your mouth to shape the sound. Most people feed the talk box with a guitar (like the Bon Jovi song) or a synthesizer (like California Love). How does someone build one you ask? Check out this site: http://www.mocheez.fr/I%20Play%20The%20Talkbox/Custom.html

I will post my pictures, videos, expierences, etc as I get around to doing the project. As of right now, I need to finish unpacking all my stuff; household as well as recording (Just moved to the valley of silicon).

Just to give an idea of what has inspired me check out these artists:
Squarepusher – http://www.myspace.com/akais5000
Daft Punk – http://www.myspace.com/daftpunk
The Society of Rockets – http://www.myspace.com/thesocietyofrockets
Girl Talk – http://www.myspace.com/girltalk

as well as the usual hardcore, metal, emo, etc influences…

You can find all the aforementioned music on my myspace profile playlist – http://www.myspace.com/deceptivedream
