My First Oscillator

I put together an oscillator today. It makes some fairly harsh droney sounds - which is always satisfying. The circuit will form the basis of some kind of group instrument/installation in the near future...

It sounds like this:

Phill Niblock

Lord of drones...

Listen to the whole playlist. Loud.

Experimental Sounding board.

 

This is tomorrow. Great sounds. Expect more photos/info etc soon. Come investigate if you're about...

ESB Catalogue

Here's the catalogue for the open lab I'm involved in...

Mandible

A few tweaks, and I was able to get a good signal out of the jawbone mic, and get something recorded. Unfortunately, my effects unit isn't keen on non balanced signal it seems, so buzzed a bit (removed in most of the track below). Will tweak things and bit and try and find a decent housing for the thing. The slightly distorted signals added all kinds of worthwhile extraneous noise once overlayed. Definitely worth further investigation.

Jawbone mic?

I've yet to check this works - electret microphone fitted into jawbone. I quite like the filling of broken sections with modelling putty, which is something to look into. Sounds tomorrow. Potentially.

Labs and sounds

Here's the next thing I'm up to...

And here's some recent noises:
