but i got the pin numbers of the ic wrong. hopefully i can recreate what i did with that in the future (not sure if the picture really tells the story at that point or not) … i jotted some notes down but who know where those might be.

candlestick mic (not to be confused with any kellogg’s products)

for certain reasons not to be gone into further at the moment, i was in need of a microphone to talk to conspirators through the computer with.

luminous and malleable substances

bq. Art is passing through a latent period. A force exists which man is unable to express… It is for this reason that we are asking all men of science throughout the world, who are conscious of the fact that art is vital necessity for the human race, to orient a part of their research towards the discovery of luminous and malleable substances and the sound producing instruments that will make possible the development of tetra-dimensional art.
