thanks for this, looks really interesting. Love the watercolour schematics too :slight_smile:

part of the appeal of the ancient info i’ve been finding on the afforementioned sites is the beautiful hand-drawn schematics in some of these documents… beats Kicad screenshots ha

I don’t spose you have the full text for those handy, have you?

I’m a huge fan of Martin Howse’s work - I heard about him initially from his ERD line of euro modules, but the rest of his research is really interesting, blurring the line between esotericism and hard science. I love things that treat technology as a divinitory tool.

Not to hand but if you paste the URLs into the aforementioned http://sci-hub.tw/ you can download the pdf, same goes for almost any unfairly non-public academic paper you might find :slight_smile:

siiiick. Break down those ridiculous barriers. College would have been so much easier if not for those bridge troll “journal” sites.

Yes same! Known Martin for some years and have his Dark Interpreter and Micro-blackdeath, great noise instruments and yes his research is really unique and interesting. His work was a major influence for our (Isn’tses) Fort Processor project

Here are a few links I have kicking around, if you don’t already have them.

link doesn’t seem to be working unfortunately!

and yeah, his research inspires me to destroy the notion of software, computers, and electronics as merely utilitarian tools - his older linux-based work (island, ptraces of death) really makes me want to explore them as divinitory tools, similar to how I view making music or art. this piece by Jay Griffiths is a good encapsulation of what I mean.

I think there’s a societal notion of some sort of mutual exclusivity between things seen as creative or “left-brain” such as art and music, and things seen as logical / utilitarian as coding, electronics, etc. Martin’s work really inspires me to try and destroy that exclusivity, and I think his approach is the way to do it.

(sorry for the short ramble, hah)

Love bat detectors, borrowed a pre-made one years back and plugged into an amp for instant amazing harsh noise :smiley: Tried to build one from a kit a while back with not so great results, need to build one from scratch soon. Or maybe should get Evil Moisture’s Bat Detector kit

Great thread! There could be another on acoustic noise machines and sound sculptures.

It seems that the effect is subtle and many attempts were made to physically time travel. However, there are dangers to this particular machine. The time coils that go around your head do not have any safety features!!

Consumertronics would be a motherlode if they actually had any schematics online vs wanting to sell you photocopies of them or breadboarded circuits for 100s of dollars :smiley: http://consumertronics.net/

Still, the unintentional poetry is great

wish this place in Deptford still existed (or that I’d been around to catch any closing down sale they might have had) tho Andy Bolus told me he once went in there and they basically asked him to leave saying it was for the industry only :smiley:

Hah! I’m in Albuquerque and I came across this site the other day. I would absolutely love to stop by and look around, but sadly:

We are strictly an high-tech Online Superstore - we don’t have a store like Radio Shack, Best Buy or Circuit City open to the public, nor any public display of our merchandise.

Looks like they’ll do local pickup though, wonder how much that shaves off the price of $20 to receive a flash drive with their catalog on it.
