I picked this neat little wooden box, and decided it would be perfect to house an old circuit bent kids toy. There was one connection or “bend” that I found particularily interesting, and so I decided to create it with just one extra button to activate that bend. I also kept the letters ABCD and an LED to make it more appealing. I placed the speaker on the underside of the box, thinking that it would resonate through whatever surface it was sitting on to make it sound louder. It doesn’t have the volume that I wanted it to, and I think that it may be related to the fact that the wood is very soft and light. Maybe if I add some more weight or add rubber feet to the bottom, it may help amplify it a bit. When the bend is activated, it tends to create a distorted loop which plays infinitely until I press another button.
