Mike Murphy sent me a very entertaining book recently which has spurred a lot of thought about recent electronic music technique advancements. For years Mike and I have used the term "electronium" to refer to any purpose built electronic music synthesizer, usually stand alone and

Preformed on the Krell Harp. The Krell Harp is what I made from the two Euro-Woggles boards I got from Jan. I put then in a small Luan case and replaced the potentiometers with a variety of surplus photo-resistors. The five sided design is inspired by the five sided doorways in t

Hi Wiardos, One of the seminal zeitgeists of Wiard designs is the cybernetic sound experimentaion of Bebe and Louis Barron. Grant made frequent use of the term 'Krell' in his descriptions of the Wogglebug. For those of you who don't already know, Bebe Barron (nee Wind) died in Ca

The PCB they are shipping is a hybrid design. Some of the design work on that PCB was not done by me. The changes on the PCB are good, but the #5 (current production model) is a whole six more months of tweaking the circuit design to center in on the "sweet spots". It is quite ea

I bought a couple of the so-called Euro-woggle PCBs to check them. Jan was nice enough to offer me a set for free, but I felt that purchasing them like anyone else was the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong with them as shipped. I was disturbed when I realized that the #3

Hi Frank, I have only one 300 module to date, the wogglebug. I think it's been commented elsewhere that the Wiard stuff is very dense, there is lots you can do and the quality of the build and functionality is very high. The breadth of use is also wide, it can help with experieme
