Or they can bring out the hidden sounds within found objects as seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/16567547\">this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These SoundBoxes are unique, handmade works of sonic art, made from German cigar boxes dating from the 1930\u2032s to the 1960\u2032s, and feature either transparent and backlit 77mm black speakers or larger, black paper 92mm speakers, a resonant-spring contact mic, a line-out for recording and \u201ccircuit-bending\u201d body contacts. They can also simply be used as cigar-box amplifiers for whatever other electronic instruments you might have.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prices vary from EUR 80-100 (incl 19% VAT), depending on box and speakers, plus shipping from Berlin.
