Noise Shaker Box

Noise Shaker Box is a harsh noise instrument inspired by the design of the evening primrose flower. The dried plant encapsulates the free seeds, creating a natural rattle. The instrument is made of welded steel plate and simple electronics. Inside are metal screws, nuts, and washers that hit the walls when shaken. The resulting vibrations are picked up by a piezoelectric transducer and converted into sound waves that, combined with guitar effects, create the final sound.
