An oscilloscope can be made to display shapes by playing sounds into it. Making music from these sounds while simultaneously drawing images with those sounds takes things to another level.
In the video I fix up and put an old oscilloscope to a new use, and show how you can watch these audio-visual demos even if you don't have a oscilloscope by using a computer.
If you want to skip the preamble and repair section and jump straight to the demo - it starts at 05:00

My good friend Tony Duggan-Smith built this musical (?) instrument for me, with the intention of using it in horror film score.
It consists of metal rulers which are bowed, a hurdy gurdy like mechanism, a string played with an attached Ebow, a spring reverb (also played with an ebow) some long metal rods, magnets, trash, anything at all to get unnerving sounds.
For this video, produced by Blink Art and Colonel Blimp, he employed one of his favorite mediums, compiling the entire video using stock footage from Getty Images. The footage is entertaining enough in its fake generic way, http://moresoon.org/
