Description

Well, after seeing some of Mohit's and Jiri's pieces of art online, i wanted to try some freeform stuff myself.

As a circuit I chose the good old 556 Atari Punk Console, since it's easy and well known, so planing and testing isn't that much of a work, as it's not really in the scope of the project.

Since the speaker is an essential part of that circuit i decided to make a boxy shape, inspired by those subwoofer, where the speaker face into the case.

I really didn't any planing beyond that and started right away with the the cube, to have a stable frame. The first part was the the part which holds the speaker, since the speaker gives the size.

After the frame I decided the 556 in the middle of the base by connecting all VCC to the frame.

Then the organic process really started, i did basically everything on the fly during process. The only restriction is only right angles and s bit chaotic is fine. Fits the APC as a bit chaotic and only PWM.

Some notes on the parts:

I basically just scavenged an old Technology will save us Synth Kit I had lying around. For the schematic I just went to the interwebs and printed the first shematic I found of the APC. Every (!) part has another value than in the schematic. Nevermind, it makes noise ;)
