Hackshop | A Circuit-Bent Arsenal of Diabolic Gizmos

 

Hackshop is a versatile collection of sampled blips, beeps, bumps and squeals from the circuit bent arsenal of TVS. 

TVS specializes in bending and modifying toys and equipment with echo feedback circuitry. Some of the most industrial and aggressive sounds he achieves are squeezed out of a certain Barbie karaoke machine that TVS has mastered the manipulation of.

His flagship machine known simply as The Dueling, combines two of these circuits with multiple parameter controls, as well as input and output of each circuit enabling for cross patching and running them in parallel or series. All of these options were put to use while recording sounds for Hackshop.

Puremagnetik also sampled TVS’ circuit patchable Yamaha DD-5, modified toy guitar effects machine, and custom built optical theremin. TVS has provided Puremagnetik with the unique opportunity to bring all these dark and twisted tones directly to you and your DAW for immediate sonic experimentation.
