Cornish semiconductor: /* Further tests */

[[File:TestingCurves.jpg|800px]]

Semiconductors have become critical to the world in which we live, and yet the knowledge about what they are and what they do is quite limited, even with people trained in electronics. They are materials where the electrical current they conduct is non linearly dependent on the voltage level. The simplest semiconductor component is the diode, commonly understood to only pass current in one direction across it's two terminals. It actually does two things:

# It won't start conducting until a certain voltage has been reached.
# This threshold is different depending on which way round it's been connected (it has asymmetry).

The forward threshold voltage is much (much) lower than the reverse. With silicon diodes this is about 0.7 volts one way and 100 volts in the other. Different semiconducting materials are used to obtain different results, germanium diodes have a lower forward threshold of 0.3 volts.

The theory of how electrons move through crystal lattices explaining why this happens was only understood around 30 years after they entered common use.

= Natural vs factory grown semiconductors =

The silicon used in our technology may be grown in a factory, but the raw material still has to be mined. Mostly this comes from high purity quartz extracted from a handful of regions of China. This material is purified further and grown into mono-crystalline blobs of silicon metal.

Natural semiconductors, such as [[pyrite]] or [[galena]] grew millions of years ago, approximately 270, in the case of Cornish mineralisation. Material from different locations (sometimes only metres apart) have different patterns of crystallisation due to slightly different temperatures or impurities. These changes can also affect their semiconductor behaviour.

Cornish semiconductor: /* 28/02/2026 Stones Drones Noise at Gwithti an Pystri, Falmouth, Cornwall */

[[ File:Logo.png|300px|right]]

Making techno using naturally grown semiconductors fossicked from mine waste around Cornwall. Also providing workshops for kids (called [https://thentrythis.org/projects/organised-atoms Organised Atoms]).

In an age of harmful technological myths detached from the earth - these sounds are an attempt to reconnect with the dirt.

This site documents research with [[natural semiconductors]] and new [[synths|synth designs]], [[circuits]] and sounds. The technology used (tickling the surface of crystals with thin 'cat's whisker' wires to create point contacts) comes from the early days of radio, when the newly discovered (and not really understood) properties of certain minerals to have a asymmetric response to electricity (now known as semiconductors) was used to convert radio signals into sound.

Cornish semiconductor:

[[File:SDNCGig.png|500px]]

To take:

* Bike light
* Crystal synth + batteries
* Volca modular + power
* Fourtrack + power
* Compressor pedal
* Cables/adaptors
* Zoom recorder
* Box of crystals
* Demo crystals in jars + labels
* Power strip extension

In case:

* Spare batteries (6v + 9v + volcamod batteries)
* Oscilloscope
* Gas powered soldering iron + solder
* Spare jumpers for volca mod
* Spare wires
* Spare capacitors in case they fall out
* Small multimeter

Plan:

[ crystal synth ] -> [ compressor pedal ] -> [ four ] --> out
^----sync---- [ volca modular ] --> [ track ] --> zoom

Fourtrack running backing track of xtal distorted fm and mine field recordings

Todo:

* Take xtal box
* Take zoom
* Take cassiterite
* Write labels
* Test jam
* Make promo video -> insta

----

[[File:GigSetup.jpg|500px]]

Audience response was really good, small venue meant that people could see when I changed crystals that the sound completely changed too. Used cassiterite for first time(!) - resistance very high (probably due to fluourite intergrowth) so v bassy. I think it was:

* Squarewave voice: galena(a&c)-cassiterite(unity wood)-chalcocite(penstruthal)
* Triangle voice: chalcocite(penstruthal)-arsenopyrite(penlee beach)-chalcopyrite(a&c)
* Noise voice: pyrite(nangiles)

Couldn't hear much detail due to speaker setup but varied the pace a lot and restricted the volca modular to timing only for large sections. Not much modulation evident after midway through (pitch or filter), but doesn't seem to matter, most change through cat's whisker manipulation, which is good. Forgot to take out tweezers, so manipulating tiny switches was hard. Forgot to hit record on zoom, but have a cassette from organisers!

All proceeds will go to the [https://panzifoundation.org Panzi Foundation], supporting victims of sexual violence in conflict mining areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo, an illegal exploitation that ends in our laptops and mobile phones.

Cornish semiconductor: /* 28/02/2026 Stones Drones Noise @ Gwithti an Pystri, Falmouth */

[[ File:Logo.png|300px|right]]

= About =

Making techno using naturally grown semiconductors fossicked from mine waste around Cornwall. Also providing workshops for kids (called [https://thentrythis.org/projects/organised-atoms Organised Atoms]).

In an age of harmful technological myths detached from the earth - these sounds are an attempt to reconnect with the dirt.

This site documents research with [[natural semiconductors]] and new [[synths|synth designs]], [[circuits]] and sounds. The technology used (tickling the surface of crystals with thin 'cat's whisker' wires to create point contacts) comes from the early days of radio, when the newly discovered (and not really understood) properties of certain minerals to have a asymmetric response to electricity (now known as semiconductors) was used to convert radio signals into sound.

To take:

* Crystal synth + batteries
* Volca modular + power
* Fourtrack + power
* Compressor pedal
* Cables/adaptors
* Zoom recorder
* Box of crystals
* Demo crystals in jars + labels
* Power strip extension

In case:

* Spare batteries (6v + 9v + volcamod batteries)
* Oscilloscope
* Gas powered soldering iron + solder
* Spare jumpers for volca mod
* Spare wires
* Spare capacitors in case they fall out
* Small multimeter

Plan:

[ crystal synth ] -> [ compressor pedal ] -> [ four ] --> out
^----sync---- [ volca modular ] --> [ track ] --> zoom

Fourtrack running backing track of xtal distorted fm and mine field recordings

Todo:

* Take xtal box
* Take zoom
* Take cassiterite
* Write labels
* Test jam
* Make promo video -> insta

= About =

Making techno using naturally grown semiconductors fossicked from mine waste around Cornwall. Also providing workshops for kids (called [https://thentrythis.org/projects/organised-atoms Organised Atoms]).

In an age of harmful technological myths detached from the earth - these sounds are an attempt to reconnect with the dirt.

This site documents research with [[natural semiconductors]] and new [[synths|synth designs]], [[circuits]] and sounds. The technology used (tickling the surface of crystals with thin 'cat's whisker' wires to create point contacts) comes from the early days of radio, when the newly discovered (and not really understood) properties of certain minerals to have a asymmetric response to electricity (now known as semiconductors) was used to convert radio signals into sound.

== 14/12/2025: 220 below adit (techno from mine waste) - album on bandcamp ==

Tracks made entirely with material (mostly chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena) from Ale & Cakes mine, Gwennap, Cornwall (now United Downs Raceway).

All proceeds will go to the [https://panzifoundation.org Panzi Foundation], supporting victims of sexual violence in conflict mining areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo, an illegal exploitation that ends in our laptops and mobile phones.
