Waterproof synth: Music from Outerspace Wierd Sound Generator kit

A while back, I wired up f a snazzy little synth from a DIY kit I got from http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/  called the Wierd Sound Generator. Then built it into a SKB mil-spec waterproof case. The result is a small black case which opens up to a control panel that looks like it could launch several intercontinental ballistic missles. Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to improve it by adding plastic shield to where the foam is exposed. Hopefully I’ll get some sounds up too. For those of you who know me, this is the thing which is making the alarm sounds on in the background of my voicemail message. 

Wierd Sound Generator circuit board and faceplate

Wires! All the controls on the faceplate are hooked up to the PCB

Almost done - Faceplate is mounted on 4 wooden pegs and ready to be mounted.

Still need to add a plastic ring around the ege of the metal to tidy things up.

This is a great starter kit for anyone who wants to get into electronics. All the pieces are available and the result is good for hours upon hours of knob fiddling.  Just don’t try to walk my version through an airport.

Bot Sex

Sometimes automated scripts find me on the internet and solicit me for sex. I don’t know how they get my screen name. Maybe I just have a kind face. Anyway. Here is a typical conversation the sex-bot and I usually have. I changed the name to uh-oh as a reminder. Extra points if you know what the Turing Test is.

Purpose of this blog.

Hi. My name is Vincent. I am the sole artist and propriator of the band Tek Support. (See www.teksupportmusic.com). I felt it was time to disambiguate my professional music career from my personal tinkerings (although the 2 will always be intertwined.) The Vince of Tek Support fame persona, who parties with strippers and sniffs blow off of the ass cracks of exotic foreign dignitaries* does not care to have a blog. He is a man of mystery and adventure and cannot be bothered to write down his musings. That is the job for current and future biographers to come.
I on the other hand have a plethora of pet projects that like minded individuals my find either useful, or at the very least amusing. This here blog is exists so that I can show these small projects. I will try to limit posts to things I create. Think music, odd experiments, large scale ballistic tests etc..
If however there is some particular tech trend or the ever so poignant LOLcat, I will leave it up to my mentor and esteemed colleague, Dr. Emanuel Shaffelhausen to post such findings to this board on my behalf. Watch for his musings seperately.

I’m afraid that the initial influx of posts will be a sampling of previous completed projects. While I am rather proud of them, the photographic documentation of the processes will probably be thinner than I would like.

Good things are to come.
V

*Is it the other way around? I can never remember

For starters, I present to you, the scoped banana. 

Red dot scope + Ripe banana = Deadly delicous
