The “prepared Gameboy” follows in a long history of ”prepared” instruments, for example prepared pianos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepared_piano

Love some of the sounds coming out of this; would be great to get a circuit diagram to get a better idea of how this is hooked up.

Is every output of the decade counter being used or just a single output making it a frequency divider (and other questions)?

If I understand correctly, the Gameboy is running a sequencer, presumably outputting to the speaker, so how is that hooked into the leached information from the various parts of the Gameboy?

I don't think the software running matters much. It just makes noise.

These look like fun experiments. I also like the term used here, "prepared Gameboy".

The actual sound reminds me a bit of shitwave: https://blog.gg8.se/wordpress/2009/03/23/shitwave-a-prng-bas...

Thanks for the reference, super interesting! The audio is spectacular https://soundcloud.com/nitro2k01-gameboy-genius/shitwave
