Transistor Oscillator

                    

The video above shows the transistor oscillator that I built. I've included the schematic for it below the video. You can see in the video that I've added a potentiometer to one of the  1K resistors in order to tweak the pitch of the sound. This is a very simple oscillator and a good project to start with if you are interested in understanding electric currents and their relation to the production of sound.

Fortress of Love, a time space is the place continuum. Just call him Lazarus of the morning.

S&M, a poem:

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love. 

i will not skip class to elaborate on the fortress of love.

Voices That Come Without Speaking

ode to roger

Sometimes I wake up in the night, and have to remind myself this is not the end of the world. I wake up and I write. I call it capitulation, this time an ode to Roger, who through the sea of confusion wrote, "Goodbye Sweet Dreams". Also, the first letter pictured here, was authenticated and witnessed by Roky's lawyer which helped subdue some of the voices he was hearing. It's official!

styrofoam speaker sound notes.

I made this speaker in class from a styrofoam plate. Above you can see the magnet in the center which is wrapped with copper wire and glued to the cardboard.  Prior to gluing the magnet to the cardboard, you want to make a small tube with notebook paper, a little larger than the magnet itself. It will look like a homemade cigarette filter.  The coil of wire around the magnet needs to tail end. You connect one end of each alligator clip (yellow and white chords seen here) to the tails of the wire. the other end of each alligator clip is connected to the two tails of the 1/8" stereo plug(black). The stereo wire has been stripped, so that the wires are exposed.  The more wire coil you use around the magnet, the louder your speaker will sound.
I'll try to upload more step by step photos later.
