Lo-Fi Sampler
A palm-sized sound recorder with a pewter face you cast yourself.
Workshop · FWB Fest · 2026
At FWB Fest in Idyllwild, California, we ran a three-hour workshop called Sound Foundry. Everyone recorded ten seconds of sound: a voice, a field recording, a secret. Then they made the metal face that holds it.
You carved a pattern, pressed it into sand, and watched Seb pour molten pewter into your mould. Ten seconds later it was solid. Next came the Drill Zone, then assembly, with no soldering needed.
