Casing

A few days ago I finished up that Atari Punk Console I had been working on. The casing is a plastic foodbox. The two red pushbuttons on the front activate a capacitorbank and are a variation on the original design. Pushing them causes a drop in frequency. It makes the APC a litle bit more versatile. I got the idea of adding a capacitorbank from GetLoFi. You can buy kits from them with everything in to get you started. I buy my components seperately from online retailers. Takes a bit more time.

Next is a circuit with 3 oscillators based on a 74C14, as described in the book Handmade Electronic Music by Nicolas Collins. Below is a crooky testdrive with the APC and a buggy breadboard set-up of the 74C14. More decent tracks can be found in my earlier posts (see Cataclysm of a distorted mind and A Happy New Year Release).

Helicopter Hysteresis (testdrive)

Portable Noise Kremator – Cataclysm of a distorted mind

All tracks except “Back to the holy mountain”: junk electronics + effects.
“Back to the holy mountain” recorded using two virtual 303′s + effects.

I have found a bunch of psychedelic synthesiser material that I have recorded way back and that suddenly started to sound relevant (after a few days without sleep). I’m planning to mix these down and put up for download soon.
