This Circuit Bent Geiger Lab Is A One-Off Echo Drone Synth That Won't Break The Bank

If you like drone synthesizers that sounds great for ambient and textural projects and are completely unique - as in the only one ever made - then you'll appreciate the Geiger Lab.

Resonance Circuits have released their latest crazy synth machine, Geiger Lab. They suggest it as a "Circuit Bent 'GEIGER LAB' Echo Atmosphere Drone Sound Generator Noise Synth". I think they've pretty much covered all bases in that description.

Like many of their past instruments, this is a one-of-a-kind bespoke creation. Yes, it's unique. If you're thinking this might then leave a large hole in your wallet you'll be happy to learn its price is more than reasonable. Via eBay you can start bidding for it from just £220 GBP. 

Here's more info on the Geiger Lab from Resonance Circuits:

A bespoke sound generator capable of producing dense, rich dronescapes, haunting evolves, ghostly atmospheric echoes and swelling atmospheres.

The Geiger Lab can also be used for ambient, tranquil sound creation and ethereal backdrops.
