The Blackfly is a spring activated instrument that delivers a wide spectrum of sonic textures. Makers Electro-Faustus describe it as "A secret weapon for serious noise makers, soundscape architects and spacious jam explorers alike."

The Blackfly consists of 4 springs arranged from a low to high pitch. Striking, strumming, scraping or plucking these springs will create a wide spectrum of sonic textures. Where you play the on the spring and how much pressure applied will yield various effects.

In this video from Swan Messiah, the Blackfly is patched through a Moogerfooger MF102 Ring Mod & MF104Z Analog Delay - with reverb from the desk.
