Added some photos to the Sync Eater page of a style I’m trying out. Planning on making a few like this.

Device release: Sync Eater // An analog video glitch FX processor
Tommy Trash tour visuals, Sync Eater + Twin Peaks
Had the opportunity to put together a visual pack for Tommy Trash’s 2022 tour and wanted to put together a little cut with some of the clips~
Also, with the Sync Eater’s proper release on the horizon I thought I’d share some additional tinkering with it.
Development update on the Sync Eater
Just a little progress update on where things are at with the Sync Eater -
These are some photos of my personal pre-production builds using what I believe will be the final panels & PCBs. I made one in black, one in white, and experimented a little bit with some blue on black. Going by public opinion I’ll most likely offer this device in all black but may do a limited run in all white and some other colors and panel styles. Nothing for sure yet, though. If you’d like to weigh in I’ve put a poll at the bottom of this post (link to the poll) - My Instagram poll came back with 35% for white, 65% for black.
So here’s the roadmap (with most completed tasks excluded):
Complete
Finalize PCBs & panel design
Make 2x personal builds with final PCBs & panels, tested working properly
Next steps
Waiting on a quote for custom enclosures (Personal models were painted, but I’m looking to have these enclosures in black and/or white from the manufacturer for a myriad of reasons.)
Create a demo video with personal pre-production models to show off capabilities & different capture methods
Open up pre-orders for a couple weeks
Close pre-orders and do first production run
Open store for regular purchases after first production run
The timeline for all of this is pretty loose and depends on when/what I hear back from the enclosure manufacturer, which will hopefully be soon. Also depends on when I’m able to get a video demo together. Pricing is still undetermined until cost of enclosures can be nailed down. Things are beginning to open back up here in Brooklyn so I’ll also be getting back to work at Avant Gardner, so my schedule may start filling up but I’ll be pushing to start proper production ASAP!
Hope you’re all doing well out there!

Music video released: "Dividing Space" by Murcof
Very excited about the release of this project today, a music video produced for Murcof.
Visual system sequenced and composited from a collection of brief moments in the choreographic work Contre-Mondes by Guilherme Botelho's Alias dance company. The final video was processed using a custom built piece of analog visual effects gear, the Sync Eater. More info on that soon.
Big thank you to Murcof for involving me in this project.
