METSÄÄN MCP mini - a modular Musique Concrète Platform

metsn.tumblr.com/post/70339073

Nothing new here, it’s an ancient and classic concept of a modular experimental music instrument. It contains the Metsään charge amplifier for contact microphones that has a very wide frequency range which includes the low end (BASS!), compared to the usual tinny pure piezo disc squeals.

An array of clamps and brackets make it possible to attach all kinds of material and resonance bodies/receptors in a modular fashion, so you can have different set-ups for different sessions or swap parts on the fly (and record the engineering sounds as well). It works great with a looper and/or a effect pedal chain or to record samples for later arrangement in the classic ‘musique concrète’ way.

The MCP consists of a recycled and painted (industry burnout camo patterns, in black and chrome) wooden box and has a strip of coarse sandpaper on its surface for some extra crunchy sounds. It comes with a selection of objects (as seen in the demo video), so you can start experimenting right away. But i urge you to also experiment will different materials. It’s best powered by 9V DC battery with adapter clip (included), but it also works with a high grade 9v DC boss-style (minus inside) pedal power supply, but low quality PSUs will introduce hum into the audio signal. Handmade by grm for METSÄÄN.

- Size: 20 x10 x 7 cm (including clamps and brackets)
- Output: 6.3mm mono intrument socket (TS)
- Power: 9V DC (minus pin inside, boss style)

Introducing the METSÄÄN MCP mini - a Musique Concrète Platform

Nothing new, it's an ancient and classic concept of a modular experimental music instrument. It contains the Metsään charge amplifier for contact microphones with a wide frequency range response that includes BASS, not just the usual tinny pure piezo disc squeals. An array of clamps and brackets make it possible to attach all kinds of material and resonance bodies/receptors in a modular fashion, so you can have different set-ups for different sessions or swap parts on the fly and record the engineering sounds as well. The MCP consists of a recycled and painted wooden box and has a strip of coarse sandpaper on its surface for some extra crunchy sounds. Comes with a selection of objects and a cushioning industrial felt mat for table sound isolation and feedback reduction and a 9V battery block with adapter clip, but it also works with a clean 9v DC boss-style (minus insinde) pedal power supply.

Looking forward to enjoy the sound of 10Meg input impedance of this SchattenDesign preamp-beast on my contact mics.

Cool. Ordered LOM's Geofon. store.lom.audio/collections/co

That should make nice subsonic bassdrum samples. Or so. After all i am planning to record the infra sound of my old wooden floors moving upon the partly massive traffic passing by 4 floors down.
