If you’re curious about how I create circuits for my electronic art, check out my new project “Hacking Nature’s Musicians” on Hackaday.io. In a recent entry, I explain how I built a random pulse generator to simulate the natural “timing effects” of Mother Nature conducting a chorus.
Below (and on Vimeo) is a video overview of the circuit.

Watercolor and analog electronic study of a Lesser Angle-winged Katydid, 2018. I plugged in a couple of crickets to give this fellow some natural context. To read more about how I made this, visit my project “Hacking Nature’s Musicians” : https://hackaday.io/project/161443-hacking-natures-musicians
