Sound Builders: Make Your Own Instrument, Win Cash, A Motherboard Documentary
Posted by fatherboard on Thursday, Apr 08, 2010
Ever feel like your tireless basement tinkering on your homebrewed laser-harmonica or 8-bit tuba deserved a reward? Perhaps some cash and internet fame?
Sound Builders, Motherboard’s documentary series about musicians who homebrew their gear, is looking for a few good instrument builders. The top ten best submissions will each receive $250, but the top three will receive $1000. The grand prize winners will also get their very own Sound Builders episode.
No no no. Seriously.
Just go to the contest page and submit your instrument concept. And if you’re feeling plucky, share your idea with the world by posting it on the Motherboard front page. (Though it won’t affect your chances of winning, it can’t hurt ;-)
Get inspired by our Sound Builders series (including Diego Stocco, pictured above), and by our previous documentaries on the Stylophone, hackerspace NYC Resistor and our Electric Independence series
