EP20: ‘The Nervous Squirrel!' Esoteric Modulation
-
- Music
In this week's show, we have Dave Cranmer a mechanical sculptor and freelance engineer that has his roots firmly in sound. He is truly an adventurous multimedia artist, designer and builder that has created all kinds of beautiful, bizarre and exceptional machines! We look at his road to being 'The Nervous Squirrel', we talk building modular and focus on some of his amazing projects and commissions! From a Radioactive Xylophone to the renowned Badgermin (a theremin in a badger!) we talk about it all!
We could not get all the show notes on this so page so head over to www.esotericmodulation.com for the full show notes.
