A musician known for his inventive approach to sound creation has built the world's largest "drone synth," an instrument capable of producing 1,000 separate tones. This remarkable invention resides in a museum that the artist owns and operates in Kent.
This museum also houses other experimental and antique musical instruments, including a century-old church organ that the musician meticulously restored by hand. The artist's dedication to building stems from a family legacy of construction and a personal passion for creating sounds from his own designs.
His unique synthesizers, some made from toys like Furbies and Game Boys, and even a "synthesizer bicycle," are a testament to his creative drive. He records music using only these self-made inventions, eschewing traditional computer software.
