OPTRON by Atsuhiro Ito 1998

“An OPTRON is an instrument that outputs both sound and light from a fluorescent light at the same time. I originally created it as an extension of an installation around 1998. (I basically didn’t attempt to create a musical instrument at the beginning). The theory is very simple. I pick up the noise from an electrical discharge that happens when a normal household fluorescent light gets turned on and off and output the noise. With an effect pedal for guitar, I can create many variations of sounds. Moreover, I can also create massive flickers (and the noise comes along with the flickers) by controlling voltage modulation by hand while the florescent light is on.” [More]
