What fresh hell is this?

Muckraker is an abstract digital distortion app. Use it with the built-in microphone on your iOS device or combine with other apps to really wallow in filth.

Caution: Muckraker can make a serious racket!

What does it sound like?

It sounds horrible, obviously. But it does also have a more tender side — those knobs aren’t entirely for decoration. And it really depends on what you put into it.

Check out the test examples in this playlist to get some idea.

We’re experimenting with hearthis.at instead of SoundCloud this time out. If this causes problems, do drop us a line.


Show me!

Your wish is our command. Behold the demo.

For comparison purposes, you can find the dry guitar & drum mix here, and the muckraked* output here.

* Is that a word? Well it is now.


Dress to distress!

You can now wear your muckraking with pride with these spiffy T-shirts, courtesy of the dangerous nutters lovely folk over at Synth Patcher.

And so professionally modelled by Matt here. Oh yes. Photo Booth FTW.

Get them while they’re hot.
