Bedlam Sequencers

Panel Detail

The Bedlam Sequencer is based on a jukebox toy. A little circuit bending and appropriate hardware make it an excellent stage and studio piece.

Blue Meanie

The Blue Meanie was exhibited at the Palazzo Sclafani museum in Palermo, Italy. After coming back to the States, it was purchased by a guy in Milano, so back it went! Features a cool sloped cabinet, handles, analog meter, built-in speaker and retro knobs.

A detail shot of the Blue Meanie Bedlam Sequencer. Look at all those buttons and switches!

The Green Bedlam Sequencer

The Green Bedlam Sequencer was a commission project for a friendly guy out in California. I like enamel finish on this one.

Screaming Yellow

The Screaming Yellow Bedlam Sequencer went to Hong Kong- I could build one for you!!

Mini-Compact

The Mini-Compact gets it's name from the bootlegged mini-compact logo I got off of a Farfisa organ that did an endo down some concrete stairs. This one went to Nashville.

The Bizzaro

The Bizzaro Sequencer was the first of the series to use a two-position toggle to double the number of voicings. This went to my friend Mr. Nice at the Univ. of North London.

The Original Bedlam Sequencer

The very 1st Bedlam Sequencer I built. (This one gave me the confidence to tackle more complicated projects!) These make just crazy sounds- Spike Jones meets Frankenstein's half-sister! Only six voices on the original. The drum sample can be warped down so far it sounds like demons chanting! Owned by an "enthusiast" in the UK.

 

The HiLux

The HiLux Bedlam Sequencer is got its name from the HiLux nameplates I attached to the case (HiLux was a mini pick-up Toyota used to make).

The Wedge

The Wedge Bedlam Sequencer was built into an old steel Amiga hard drive enclosure. Owned by Dave in Texas. Hey! Send me a CD, Dave; I'd like to hear what you're up to!

Little Blue Bedlam

The Little Blue Bedlam Sequencer I think went out to the west coast... probably the smallest one I've made (only about 6" long) and it lacks a superflous blinking lamp.
