“Panzer” is beyond any mobile studio you’ve ever seen. It’s basically a tank with speakers and a cockpit containing beat-making gear. (Mackie mixer, Roland sampler, Akai MPC, Korg KAOSS, as near as I can see, plus … the machinery to drive the tank.)
From the description:
Minidumper, Holz, Stahl, Kunstharz, Glasfaser, Audioequipment, Sound
2011
And to make sure it’ll fit in your garage:
H 250 cm x L 350 cm x B 140 cm
Nik Nowak, born in Mainz and based here in Berlin, has a whole portfolio of re-imagined speakers and motorcycles and flames and I’m glad I’m not a curator or art critic because I would be tempted to use phrases like “installations made completely of awesome.”
Nik, if you’re out there, please tell me you still have this and can drive it out to an event. Otherwise, I’ll come to you. Just don’t shoot … or … boom or whatever.
I was going to add the images to this story, but I’m not sure I want to see a takedown notice from Nik. It might actually set me on fire.
Also, Alesis IO Dock: eat your heart out.
