CrudLabs is an organization dedicated to new research into combining traditional electronic music interfaces with methods of electroacoustic and electromechanical sound creation in new and unexplored contexts. It’s first major endeavor is the fabrication and open sourcing of CrudBox, a 16 step, 8 channel step sequencer which replaces digitally created or analog synthesized sounds typically associated with sequencers and electronic music with the amplified sounds of whatever electronic or electromechanical devices are plugged into it.
