Black Banshee - Drone / Ambient experimental Noise box

Black Banshee — Handmade Noise Box / Experimental Sound Sculpture

The Black Banshee is a handcrafted noise instrument built for raw, atmospheric sound design. Each unit is assembled from resonant springs, contact-mic'd metal elements, and a wooden body — designed to produce cold, textured, percussive noise that comes alive through reverb and delay.

Perfect studio tool for recording sound effects across genres — from musique concrète and dark ambient landscapes to harsh noise, industrial, and experimental electronics. Sampled fragments work beautifully in techno, IDM, and cinematic sound design as well.

What it does: The Black Banshee lets you generate a wide range of textures and sonic backdrops — metallic scrapes, resonant drones, rattles, springy clangs, sharp transients, and eerie sustained tones. A versatile source for film, game audio, and media sound design. Every interaction with the instrument invites experimentation, and the results are rarely predictable — that's the point.

A genuine tool for artists searching for their own sonic identity.

Features:

• Built on musically resonant springs — not muted hardware-store springs like those used in HOEGERT TECHNIK and similar kits. Each spring is selected for its tonal character.
• Two contact microphones mounted on either side of the front panel — mono and stereo outputs (6.3 mm / 1/4" jack).
• Two onboard preamps for the contact mics, delivering loud, articulate amplification of every detail.
• Two sensitivity knobs on the front panel for independent gain control.
• Diode protection on the contact mic inputs and against reverse-polarity power supply connection.
• Solid wooden enclosure made from 10 mm thick plywood, custom-cut for the instrument and finished with dark wood oil.
• Recessed screws for a clean, deliberate aesthetic.
• Additional mounting points so you can attach your own sound elements and expand the instrument over time.
• Power switch on the unit.
• Conical spring as the signature ultimate sound element.
• Basic noise-making tools included for immediate exploration.
• 9V power supply included (center-positive).
