Electrochemical Synthesiser
5 months ago
Pressing a key causes salt solution to flow over a copper and aluminium connection generating a low signal which is filtered by a capacitor and then amplified, creating a complex white noise, with amazing fluctuating oscillations.
The device demonstrates how complexity can be generated using simple "analogue" and wet components.
The inspiration for the synthesiser came from the website "Peculiar sounds from Aluminium " by Nyle Steiner.

Kyle McDonald 25 days agoSo good. It feels like the Cracklebox in its noisy self-contained aesthetic, and bordering on bio-art. Throw in some organisms to regulate (or disturb) the composition of the solution and you're set. -
pask present 24 days agoI am planning on using a Focusrite Saffire audio device to make a clearer recording - could be the start of an electrochemical decomposition! -
Kyle McDonald 24 days agoI'm definitely looking forward to a better recording. I read more about the principle -- it's really interesting and unexpected. Steiner's recording is really varied, and it's harder to hear the pitches in yours. It'd also be great to see this instrument from some other angles. -
pask present 14 days agoNew video now on line (24/8/08) with direct audio recording (a bit overloaded in parts) and more angles and closeups... -
Karen Abad loves Dinosaurs. 25 days agoWhoa cool!!!
