The Typesonic: vintage typewriter turned noise machine

Diego Stucco’s Typesonic, a vintage typewriter upon which clanging bass notes are QWERTilY plucked, is incredibly neat and wonderfully industrial. Sadly, I don’t actually think the sounds produced are moree rhythmically hypnotic than the staccato sounds of the office typing pool, punctuated occasionally by an end-of-line brrrringing.
