555 Drones [Disquiet0555]

In this celebration of the 555 timer, this project represents Suss Müsik’s 105th contribution to the Disquiet Junto. It also represents a slight flipping of the usual Suss Müsik script. Typically, Suss Müsik's Junto contributions are accompanied by some sort of narrative explaining the technical or conceptual background behind the submitted piece. A number of you have remarked how much you enjoy reading these descriptions, and your kind words are sincerely appreciated. Thank you. For this project, however, Suss Müsik elected to show rather than tell. Taking inspiration from @bassling's excellent video series, this week’s contribution is an improvised demo captured during 2021 pandemic conditions. The audio is comprised solely of waveforms generated by four DIY devices utilizing 555 IC chips. You’ll hear some square waves, some triangle waves, maybe even the semblance of a sine wave as the drones shake your teeth and cause a headache in your left eye. A bit of low-pass filtering is achieved from a haptic (touch) controlled interface.
