Creative coder Eric Furst (@ef1j@post.lurk.org on Mastodon) is a master of retro-modern mashups.

For his latest project, he ditched the retrocomputing angle and went full futurism, using a Teensy 3.1 as the basis of his Dystopian Drone.

The Teensy outputs a continuously-evolving synthesized saw wave sound, which is then broadcast worldwide at http://echo.lurk.org:999/ef1j.mp3 as well as locally on 89.3 FM via a simple external transmitter. The result is deliciously chilling, and provided the perfect sinister soundbath for the authoring of this blog post.

Give it a listen, follow the project’s evolution on Mastodon, and be sure to take a gander at Eric’s wiki for more details on this and other creative coding and computational art projects.
