Tomfire enjoy the pleasures of using self-constructed and modified instruments. Peruse some of these constructions here.

Trans-Cock The Trans-Cock series was designed to carry vibrations through the T-C Send box to the T-C Reciever without wires. This product also picks up radio waves and accepts many kinds of interference. The Trans-Cock series can be used as a wireless contact mic, removing the necessity for awkward cables. IMS have updated the Trans-Cock series and are in testing to involve an additional send box, throwing the traditional two box intercourse set-up into a three dimensional orgy.	T-C S1	T-C R1	T-C S2

Reverb Machine Built to modified specifications detailed at Electronic Peasant, the Reverb Machine was originally intended to supplement standard amp reverb. On completion, the first machine was also able to interpret electronic interference as sound, using the instrument (and player in the case of guitars) as an aerial. The main components involved with the construction of the Reverb Machine include a wine box, slinky, speakers and defunct bank cards. The unit is powered using a K4001 7W amplifier available in kit form from Maplin.	RM1	RM1 (top)	RM1 (bottom)

Tone Generator AA The TGAA consists of an answerphone tape playing the note 'A' and a salvaged computer fan. These components are connected to pitch controls, allowing variation of tone. This instrument produces a small range of uncontrollable atmospheric background noises but has proved notoriously unreliable.	IMAGES COMING SOON

Modified Keyboard MK-500 The M-K 500 is a standard Casio TK keyboard, modified with a half speed tape player and noise bank (including three buzzer tones, two tone alarm and high pitch alarm). These modifications allow a variety of sounds, including pre-recorded cassette tapes. Mellotron Style Keyboard This Mellotron is of modern design, constructed from old walkmans, each of which play a separate note. The interface gives the user a choice of tone lengths, including 'always on'.
