Having just watched the video and read the official website, with many other photos/videos. I’ve just made the purchase of a kit
I can’t wait to receive it and get going!
Very neat. I want the solar one in my window.
Groovy origami horse automata.
Groovy Octopus Project sound track, Roo!
@StlEligius:
Do you know the name of the track used in the video?
Thanks for the mention folks
Solar conversion kit for the horse is in the works btw – PCBs ordered but I bet many of the readers here’ll be able to do that bit themselves (which I encourage).
The track is called Queen btw.
The quiet instrumental is “Snow Tip Cap Mountain”.
The song is “Queen”. both can be found on “Hello, Avalanche” by The Octopus Project.

They are a very Maker band. Yvonne had a tissue carry wallet called a cold case in Ready Made Magazine. They have many hand made plush toys and posters for sell at gigs. They have plush amplifier cozys to make the speakers look like ghostly, goofy monsters.
And Hello, Avalanche comes with more theremins than ever! Everything ‘s better with theremins.
@MarbleMad
True, true Theremins are the apex of analog electric instruments however, a vocoder would bring things to a point of musical nirvana.
If you are into atypical instrumentation and composition The Olivia Tremor Control might be worth a listen (singing saws, tin cans, thereins, accordions melotrons etc.)
It’s so wonderful Kenetic horse…
could you us also or make a video how to do it…!?
