As if the Cushion Control pillows weren’t cute enough, here we find a USB-powered, felt-covered calculator synth to ooh and aww over. Artists Kelli Cain and Brian Crabtree were able to conjure up this nifty device at a Felt Circuits workshop held in Los Angeles, and while details are relatively scarce, the creation is essentially a homemade eight- x six-inch calculator constructed from dyed wool that was hand-rubbed into felt. The two also “designed, etched, and populated noise-making circuit boards” which were then put into the contraption, and when connected to a USB port, touching the metal contacts that are sewn on “makes a bunch of noise,” which we can causally refer to as abstract music. Unfortunately, there’s no sign of these things going on sale, but if you beg the duo hard enough, you might find out if another workshop is in the pipeline.
