I love the Buddha Machine, the ambient sound generator with a Buddha inside every byte. Modulator Mike bent his box to add a pitch control and a light-dependent resistor theremin control. I’d love to hear what this sounds like.
BTW: I discovered that there’s a Buddha Machine iPhone app. It’s $4, tho. Too much for my apps budget.
Mike’s The Magic Mess circuit bending site (which doesn’t have anything on this project yet).
