It’s oddly apropos that bits are coming together, here on the eve of the (calendar) new year. Bits of technological, musical, and epistemological* flotsam and jetsam seem to be accumulating into useful shapes in my immediate vicinity.

To wit - this person has posted a handful of schematics and sound clips regarding the construction of circuits exhibiting chaotic behaviour, and using said circuits to control synthesizers. In other words, a chaos-driven instrument is within reach of my handy laser screwdriver soldering iron.

I’m very excited.

*more on this later - I’m still working on putting it into words.

    Can we put one in a steel box with a lever on the side and the Chaos Star emblazoned on the front? Because that would be fuckin’ metal.

    Yep - especially if it looks like it spent 80 years buried in the Siberian tundra. I do intend to make sure the dimensions of the box, the controls, and the labeling are all, um, appropriate…
