Project 6: The Tetractys

This is a little noisemaker. The interface is electrodes. So your fingers, toes, or tongue for the daring completes the circuit which drives six hex schmitt trigger oscillators.

The glory:
1. you become part of the circuit
2. totally random feel
3. volume control
4. its made of wood
5. homemade electrodes
6. six oscillators mixed in a ring mod kind of way

The defeats:
1. my woodwork needs work
2. volume shorting out occasionally due to arrangement in enclosure resulting in random peaks of volume
3. don't like the coin electrodes, I think small dome-headed lag bolts would be better
4. too many Lo-Frequency oscillators
