No, the guy in the picture isn't testing some wacky anti-terror weapon or, is he? Wielding the "Ravezooka", a weapon of music destruction capable of blasting you with "hardcore sound."

We Make Money Not Art writes, "Squeezing the trigger handle initiates sound and a beam of light. As the user moves the Ravezooka around, the frequency range being played changes based on the distance of the person or object in front of the instrument. The closer the target, the lower the frequency range. The light emitted from the LED gives a visual clue as to what person or object is being targeted. Sliding the trigger handle back and forth modifies the distortion effect of the sound. The closer the handle is drawn towards the user, the greater the distortion. Volume is controlled by turning the potentiometer knob on the side of the Ravezooka."

The device is fed midi information, which is then manipulated, much as one would do with a synthesizer. Seems like a long way to go for a weapon, but as a piece of conceptual art, it's kinda groovy.
