Dem Arrernte Mape

Dem Arrernte Mape is an ongoing project developed by William “Nookie” Lowah and Vito Lucarelli. It’s a collective of musicians who all express a want to create music and perform with a desire of amplifying Indigenous voices.

Dem Arrernte Mape began as a Red Hot Arts’ Project Seed program in 2023 and continues on outside of that funding.

Golden Gate(s, CV and audio) Bridge

The Golden Gate(s, CV and audio) Bridge, or GGB for short, is a DIY eurorack project in Intellijel 1U (14HP) that passively bridges two set-ups over ethernet.

Where it differs from other off-the-shelf bridges is its potential to be built inside a standard 1590A guitar pedal enclosure, allowing users to bridge their modular with non-eurorack equipment.

A PCB of a work-in-progress DIY electronic musical sequencer

2seqs


Sequences 2 channels of triggers and CV signals with a focus on modifying regular musical rhythmic measures by less-regular not-so-musical integers. Think quintuplets, septuplets, nonuplets, etc.



2seqs is an avenue for me to learn how to code and experiment with embedded hardware systems. My plan is to put all documentation online after completion for free use.

A yellow enclosure housings electronics that include 8 saw wave oscillators, an 8-step sequencer and CMOS distortion circuit

POLLEN8R


8 oscillator sawtooth drone box (swarm) that doubles as 8-step sequencer (sting) with a signal chain that features an AR envelope, tone control and CMOS overdrive. External inputs for clock, triggers, carry out and reset.



External input lets you run your equipment through the chain for a tremolo effect with changeable patterns and shapable rise and fall.

A pink enclosure that houses electronic circuits such as two reverse avalanche oscillators, vacuum tube distortion, filter and two variable wave-shape LFOs

How Deep Is Your Wub?


2 reverse avalanche oscillator drone box with dual-wave LFOs, resonant low pass filter, tube distortion and a hacked up multi-fx board built for karaoke machines.

BB1


Ring modulator that meets square-wave oscillator housed inside a doll head (obviously). Effect a signal through the quarter-inch input or built-in microphone.



Also features CV inputs for volume, carrier pitch and balance.
