One man wonder machine @billbaileyofficial blew through the @signals_sound_laboratory like a filter sweep of fresh air. Everything he touched sparkled with skill and comic timing. Good luck on your next adventure Bill! 💥 Wild West Australia is out now on @netflix #billbailey #signalssoundlaboratory #netflix #thisisfremantle #wildwestaustralia

Very excited to find a Bruel & Kjaer 1022 beat frequency oscillator in Perth! As used in the 1960’s for the “Doctor Who Theme” at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop… nicknamed “the wobbulator”. ❤️ BFOs were first developed to convert morse code to audible signals. But the Radiophonic Workshop had other ideas for such scientific test equipment. 💡 And we got ours working 🎉💥 along with a very cool filter unit! Hours of fun to come! 😎 Get in touch if you’d like to come and check it out. Thank you to @artsourcewa for hosting the lab. #signalssoundlaboratory #testequipment #testequipmentmusic #doctorwho #thisisfremantle

Can be for something you want to do now, or later in the year 🤘 The Lab is supported by @artsourcewa and situated at beautiful @oldcustomshousewa #signalssoundlaboratory #artsourcewa #thisisfremantle #testequipmentmusic #perthsynth

The @sonicchair has been by far the most popular @signals_sound_laboratory Tour activity for the last couple of years, allowing the listener to sit in the centre of the synth sounds they are creating, in a womb-like experience. Thanks @artsourcewa for giving the chair a home in the Port city of Fremantle. Visitors welcome by appointment 😎 Here is a little sample of our recent chair players 🤘 #signalssoundlaboratory #sonicchair #artsourcewa #thisisfremantle #perthsynth

Late nights, breakfast radios, synth emporiums and mighty people - four minutes from a few golden days in Western Australia. Thanks for the capture @EmmaSmart and big ups @mojosbarfreo , @unclejoecro @pambolandd and @harry_charles.co for dreaming up a fitting end to the Dark Harvest World Tour Part 1.

Accompanying our test equipment drones with a little synth magic is a favourite pastime at the @signals_sound_laboratory So we thought we’d flip a couple of patches from one of our most used soft synths by @gforcesoftware - designed by @theunfinished From the amazing ImpOSCar 3 we have “Differentials” flipping into “Blissed Out”. Test Equipment drones at the start are by HP, going into a Roland SH5 and finally into SRE 555 Chorus Echo. #gforcesoftware #testequipment #signalssoundlaboratory #perthsynth #thisisfremantle

A masterclass in controlled feedback. ⚡️� We were thrilled recently to host South Korean feedback artist @livefdbck (Jsuk Han) for an explosive, improvised session in the Lab. Jsuk is in Fremanlte/Walyalup as part of a @wfac_fremantle residency in collaboration with @incheonartplatform Jsuk extracted unique and mesmerising textures effortlessly after only a brief tour of the @signals_sound_laboratory , pushing our Motorola signal generators, video synthesisers and scientific test equipment to the limit. Great fun to witness. Live sounds & video feedback by Jsuk Han.� The Lab is hosted at the Old Customs House by @artsourcewa #signalssoundlaboratory #thisisfremantle #feedbackart #testequipmentmusic #perthmusic

A whirlwind visit from a legend! 🎶 It was such a treat having @nickmulvey drop by the lab recently. Nick took a quick breather from his Dark Harvest world tour to catch up with his long-time friend (and our new lab collaborator!) @unclejoecro a.k.a. @astralprojektstudio The highlight? Watching Nick dive into the Orchid chord generating synth by @telepathic.instruments We had a good chat about how it can be used as a portable songwriting tool while on the road. 🎹✨ Safe travels, Nick! Big thanks to @artsourcewa for giving the lab such a cool home here at Fremantle Port. ⚓️ Visitors always welcome! #nickmulvey #orchidsynth #telepathicinstruments #signalssoundlaboratory #thisisfremantle

Great to have Australian DJ/producer Justin Elwin a.k.a @hwls_ in the @signals_sound_laboratory recently for a visit and play. Good fun, with many crazy sound explorations to be had. Absolutely loving exploring Justin’s three album releases, plus EPs and remixes. Especially dig the sound design and atmospheres in “Everything’s Temporary” (2024), including this featured track: “No More”. #hwls #signalssoundlaboratory #perthsynth #perthdj #thisisfremantle
