yellow drum machine (stuff that girls adore)


fritsl’s 120$ self-propelled autonomous drumming robot on letsmakerobots is not only yellow, it has immense attractor written all over it. really. while finding its way to the nearest wide surface or single object it can drum on, it does a serious business of turning its sensors in a very paranoid fashion - by using three drumsticks, a microphone and a loudspeaker, it records patterns of its own (randomly invented) drumplaying he uses as a basis to drum to, though it can also synchronize to music or to your feet tapping. i’m on my way to find someone who jury-rigs one for me.

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
