Now that you're familiar with the Thimbletronic element, you can better understand the nature of The ECC's newest performing instrument, The Thimbletron. The Thimbletron, as the name suggests, is constructed from 10 ordinary thimbles. For ease of use, the thimbles are mounted on cotton gloves.
Wires connect each thimble to a power source and digital interface.
Properly wired, the thimbles produce emissions of thimbletronic energy which are then detected by custom equipment. This equipment interfaces with a standard laptop computer running Operation Re-Information 's Back To Basics software. The end result is a sound triggered from the laptop through thimble manipulation. The wire bundle at the top of the glove runs down the arm of the wearer to the laptop. Unfortunately, thimbletronic emissions during early experimentation have resulted in undetermined growths in the arms of early experimenters.
