(This is part of a weekly feature called Slice of Life Project)

Yesterday, I had a few hours of empty time. A luxury. My school ended last week and my kids were still in their school for one last half-day of the year. I did some errands (of course), then some reading and then I pulled out this little musical instrument that I have had sitting around for a few weeks.

It’s called a Kaossilator and it is a handheld synthesizer that uses a touchpad. It’s mighty strange and I need more time to get a good feel for it. It reminds me a bit of the Theramin (know what that is? If not, think of the eerie sounds of horror movies of old or check out this Wikipedia link).

So I shot this little video for this week’s Slice of Life, featuring my thumbs getting a work out on the Kaossilator.

Peace (in musical movements),
Kevin

    That is way too cool! It has great possibilities with your claymation stories, I think.

    Hi Kevin,
    The Kaossilator is pretty neat.
    Just wondered where you bought it, and whether it was affordable or not.

    Hi Janice
    I bought it online and no, it wasn’t really that affordable.
    It was an impulsive splurge that I prob should not have done, but I love musical instruments.
    It’s fun to play with, though.
