APPROACH                                                                                                          A step by step approach was taken to create a sound output using a 555 Timer Chip.Exploring paper as a material of electronics, we built a disc which creates a sound output due to the varying conductance and resistance given.  

                                                                                                            Conductive paint and resistive graphite were used to draw functioning circuits on the paper discs. When the synthesizer completes the circuit its pitch is changed by the varying resistance of the graphite strips. It creates electronic sound loops

Testing each sound output as we created it.Also exploring alternate materials such as resistive paper.
