Friday, 02.04.2022 - First Circuit & Project 1 Plans

Here is a video of my first functional synthesizer circuit using the CD 4093 chip. I decided to use the triangle wave output because I like the timbre of that sound. I’m using one NAND gate to modulate the amplitude of the oscillator and create a pulsing rhythm.

I found that experimenting with the strobe light and photoresists leads to some compelling polyrhythms. I’m curious to expand this circuit to include more oscillators and incorporate more active light sources.

I’m very interested in Erica Gressman’s work and the way they integrate light into a fully body interface. I would like to do something similar for my Project 1 & 2.
