Cracklebox

Recording of a a Steim Cracklebox (http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2005/03/cracklebox.html)
with an SE1 microphone and no processing at all. The machine produces
very random, hard-to-control noises when the 6 circuit-board contacts
are touched. I recorded 10 minutes of fiddling, then snipped out
interesting sounding noises. This sample is a low frequency clicking, possibly triggered by a ring resting on the contacts, with a nice bleep at the end.

These crackles are wicked, cheers, I'm going to chop them out and make minimal percussion hits with them.
