The Game Boy MEGAMACHINE -- Anyone else following this guy or seen this amazing piece of art?!

I just found this guy yesterday.  Wow, this is an amazing piece of machinery.  This gentleman has hacked together some 30-40 Game Boys and has created a machine that pulls together all of the sounds of all of the channels form these machine to make one astounding synth machine.  I know when you blend together some 60+ channels from synth hardware, you can make a lot of unique sounds, but I found this to be legit beautiful.  Truly a work of art.

This is also not the only thing this guy has made for his channel. I need to dive deep a bit more into his channel, but he also takes other simple/cheap audio hardware and hacks and supplements them for some amazing results.  I'm not a musician but there's a part of me that wishes if I were, this were the type of stuff I'd do.

You might go back a bit, but scroll down in his video list and find the last video he made on it.  I understand, maybe, 10% of what this guy is talking about but I know it's more than just layering the voice channels.  He's integrated a lot of analog effects, and I know from an even previous video (one someone had posted from about a year ago) that some of his hacks involve lowering the voltages on the CPU to adjust the speed of the unit and generate different sounds.  It's remarkable.

Lol, interesting enough, he just posted a new video 45 minutes ago talking about the unit and it's history.

I knew that there's a whole scene for Game Boy chiptunes, but this thing is amazing!

Very cool
