SYNTHESIZER - A Place To Bury Strangers Album

Oliver Ackermann of Death By Audio and his band, A Place To Bury Strangers’ latest release Synthesizer is available for pre-order: a 12" vinyl LP featuring a unique cover that can be assembled into a noise synthesizer. What sets this record apart is that you can build your own DIY synth from the...

regardless of whatever your opinions on DBA might be, for a 12" LP packaging / marketing idea, this is pretty nifty.

i wonder what's in the circuit? fuzz/square wave, poly octave, reverb?

there's even a BOM available for review:

That's pretty awesome. Not $200 awesome but still cool. Aukerman ain't getting any younger. Gotta make it where you can. Better than doing Pepsi jingles.

you can just build it with your own parts and the $50 LP/PCB

but with the $150 "parts kit", it's about $200. I imagine sourcing your own parts would be way better value.

That's pretty rad, good idea.

45 for the vynil and pcb, fiine... those gold plated leads for the parts or some grubber thinking the IC's are unobtainiums?

 

[Stickman393]

Looking at the parts list:

3 oscillators, a filter, LFO, two echos, noise. Triangle and square waves. Everything is discreet, no vca on a chip or similar components.

Pretty nifty. Looks like a raw as fuck very DBA type synth.
