Browsing around the crowdfunding websites can be very inspiring. Here’s a few lovely inventions that bring new happiness to those who love to have their music served analog with their bare hands.

The Mixtape Alpha, a great pocket-sized 8-bit synth. Currently still crowdfunding.

MaKey Makey, an extremely universal controller-maker that even can turn bananas into a piano. Got completely overwhelmed last year when they were crowdfunding their project. Now available to order at their website.

This tool turns your acoustic guitar into a droning ambient machine, succesfully funded earlier this year, now going into production.
