Zinc Negative Resistance Sound Synthesizer

More info is available at http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com

An electronic sound composition is made entirely of sounds produced using zinc negetive resistance audio oscillator circuits. No vacuum tubes or transistors were used to generate the sounds.

Several tracks of the zinc oscillator sounds were recorded one at a time. Some of the sounds were enhanced with the addition of reverb.

The morse code parts were sent in real time by manually keying a J-38 straight key. Yes, I can send that fast with a straight key by using a somewhat unusual technique that I developed.

[tijumusic]

It's really very interesting!

Thank you for this demonstration!

Beautiful ambiance.

The zinc diode also works for reciveing! I havent got it to work as well as a 1N34 but very close

uhh nevermind, I just read the description :)

[sparkloweb]

Have you decoded the morse code? Maybe it's communicating...

I mean a modern one. Not a piece of wood and a bunch of crocodile clips.

What is this for?

[synthpro]

Interesting!!!!!!!!

[obeyadam]

he is, see the block of wood? That's where the name came from, nails driven into a wooden breadboard (or cutting board) were the first prototyping boards
