Dewanatrons in MAKE Volume 27

Cousins Brian and Leon Dewan make “analog, solid-state” instruments covered in knobs and dials, housed in beautifully finished cases. The instruments are called Dewanatrons.

From MAKE Volume 27:

It’s impossible to precisely control, so the “primates-in-charge” must guide the machine to produce melodies, percussion, and innumerable unpredictable sound effects. Brian explains, “It is the responsibility of each primate to encourage or restrain the instrument.”

Volume 27 is all about robots, with a robotics project for every skill level. Adorn your coffee table with greatness – subscribe to MAKE today!
