Moelcular Synth: snap-together electronic music instrument “bricks”:

My 6-year-old and I love playing with our Stylophone, half-broken Casio keyboards, cheap-o effects pedals, and other tools for creating weird music. My young’n also goes deep into beginner DIY electronics with Snap Circuits, sets of modular components that can be combined in various ways to make neat noisemakers, games, water sensors, etc. Travis Feldman’s Molecule Synth looks like terrific mix of all that! It’s a collection of core synthesizer components that can be arranged and rearranged in different combinations to yield new sounds and new interfaces. It even has MIDI. Feldman already hit his Kickstarter goal with three weeks left to go on the fundraising. I can’t wait for my son and I to get our hands on a set! Molecule Synth (Thanks, Mark Dery!)
