Investigations
Ongoing technical studies of unstable electronic systems operating outside nominal specifications. Circuits are configured with recursive signal routing, noisy threshold detection, and constrained power delivery, producing behavior driven by marginal stability, logic failure, and voltage-dependent state changes. Outdated logic devices, comparators, and mixed analog–digital stages are pushed into ambiguous states through feedback, supply sag, and impedance mismatch. Outputs are treated as measurements of system condition rather than musical results, with oscillation, stalling, chatter, and collapse emerging during prolonged operation.

These systems impose an inverted control relationship in which user intent is routinely undermined by unintended behavior. Interaction becomes a process of responding to system output rather than directing it, requiring continual adjustment and reassessment. In this context, the chaotic sound device functions as a disruptor of expectation, forcing engagement with internal biases toward control, authorship, and goal-oriented outcomes.
