Misfit Box
The Misfit box is a unique instrument that consists of a resonating wooden box and several objects that are attached to it, such as metal rulers, a plastic comb, springs, and a soldering iron stand. The Misfit Box can be played in a variety of ways, including with hands, mallets, and a violin bow. When played, the Misfit Box produces rich and textured sounds, that can be further enhanced with coupling the instrument with a chain of audio effects, such as granular delay. This allows for a wide range of sounds and textures that are perfect for any musical composition.
