Radioaktivox: Fresh sounds for retro Mattel Optigan organ

Pea Hicks writes:

In the early 1970s, Mattel made a home organ called the Optigan which produced sound in a unique way: instead of electronically generating sound, it played back the sound of real instruments recorded as optical waveforms in concentric rings on 12″ celluloid discs. The sound was gloriously lo-fi and haunting. Now we’ve mastered the art of creating brand new Optigan discs, and have just released our first.

What a stately sound!

You can pre-order your own Radioaktivox disc for your Optigan for $93 plus shipping.
