Sonic Liberation Devices is a growing series of decolonial, accessible musical instruments designed to amplify marginalized stories through sound, code, and community. Each device is handcrafted and open-source, created to reimagine what instruments can be β€” not just tools for making music, but living systems of memory, resistance, and shared knowledge. Rooted in care, built in collaboration, and meant to be used, remixed, and carried forward, S.L.D’s open up new possibilities for how we listen, connect, and create together.

incredible !! @mat.a.olson helped me make these gaskets thru fusion and 3D printing to hold in place my quarter in jack, midi and switch for battery power ! and it works soooo good and looks hella clean !!! wow one of my favorite things about this
Upgraded from aluminum to stainless steal ! My back panel holes are a little bigger that the midi ports but wondering if 3D printing something around it will help? Not quite sure but on it!
