Early Human Resistance Synthesizer

Completed: November 2010
Last Known Locations:
Vienna, VA
Fakenham, Norfolk, U.K.

My first attempt at this type, which became the Human Resistance Synthesizer. They are played by bridging the connection between the two plates. The more contact made, the higher the pitch. You can experiment with friends by making a human chain of resistance.

With a very minimal design, these synthesizers are carved into a single piece of salvaged wood. Aside from the two contact plates, you have a power switch and indicator light.

Audio Out: 1/4″ mono
Power: 9V Battery (Under Left Plate)

Built as a set of 2.
