What, pray tell...

Post by Maukio » Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:25 am

... is this?

Apparently that's something Mikael Jorgenson of WILCO was messing around with in the greenroom before a show.  I can't see any sort of brand name or anything and I don't have the slighest idea what I'd type into Google to begin searching.  It's very interesting looking.  With those copper plates I'd imagine it uses your bodies electricity or whatever to affect the signal in some ways.  Anyone synth people have any idea?
