Digital Music Hardware Hacking

il_430xn7408190.jpgEtsy hosted a night of digital music hardware hacking. People hacked together some beautiful (and some cacophonous) instruments using both common items (computers and keyboards) and less common items (an iron w/ ironing board, black slime, rubber glove w/ tinfoil).

It’s really cool how Etsy Labs is fostering creative expression. It’s an artistic forum, a collaborative workplace, a soapbox for edge artisans… and a skatepark! Ok, enough ranting praise.

Check out this excellent video of the digital music hardware hacking event. Make sure to check out the “Slime-a-tron” at the 3:00 minute mark.
