Here’s a Short About a Synth Made of Rubber Ducks and Jelly Beans

A bricolage synthesizer whose switches, dials, and knobs are actually rubber ducks, matryoshka dolls, and jelly beans stars in Knuckle Visualizer, the latest sound and animation experiment from Korean motion graphics studio, Minimalogue. The colorful short depicts the sonic results of different combinations of sliders and sockets on the sculptural soundboard, sweetening the deal with inserts of equalizers and waveforms made of yarn, scrawled in notebooks, and represented in other ways totally adorable and kitchy. 

The pastel color scheme complements the fact that the track backing Knuckle Visualizer is actually by the very funky Stereo Cool. Check out a few choice moments from the film below, followed by a making-of featurette that’ll teach you to build a Knuckle Visualizer of your very own.
