I think the best one so far, starting to get somewhere with this perhaps...
The natural semiconductors used in this track are pieces from the same lump of solid chalcopyrite fossicked from minewaste at East Wheal Maid, Gwennap. Three shafts on a hilltop that overlook the "Wheal Maid Valley" […]
Write up on our first #OrganisedAtoms workshop of 2025:

Two more (free events) coming up next weekend as part of Fun Palaces - see booking info here if you are near us and want to give it a go […]
Managed to replicate the pyrite noise generator on the cardboard synth - single transistor operation for high quality analogue crackles! This one will be in the workshop guide... #OrganisedAtoms
Wondering what on earth was up with this, and then I remembered how much it rained on the last workshop #OrganisedAtoms
10 cardboard boxes all with electronic components, dials, speakers and crystal holders with spring and wires to connect them
OMG it's #OrganisedAtoms time of year again
A slice of wood with circuits screwed to the top, connected by wires to two small volca modular synthesisers and a zoom recorder on a wooden workbench
We are doing #OrganisedAtoms again this summer, watch this space for dates!
Family fun smashing rocks, crystal collecting, identification, microscopes, electronics and NOISE at United Downs Raceway, St Day, #Cornwall
We are currently building some of […]

Having some success using natural semiconductors (chalcocite from Penstruthal mine) with "industry standard" synthesis #OrganisedAtoms
Grey-green 'worms' of stacked crystal forms on a dark matrix
Sometimes crystals form stacked 'worm' like shapes - this is pale green clinochlore on a dark sphalerite matrix from Wheal Charles, Porthtowan at the base of the steep valley underneath the much larger Tywarnhayle mine.
I got wet feet from a failed attempt at […]

Four cardboard boxes with electronic components, springs and wires on a table with some rocks in plastic containers. On a bench below the table, a mixer, guitar pedal and headphones.
A cluster of black metallic anatase crystals on a brown grainy matrix.
Tomorrow night @nebogeo will be streaming #OrganisedAtoms mine waste crystal semiconductor "glitch & scream" live from Cornwall, part of "Zero Volts" at @constant in Brussels: https://0v.constantvzw.org/
This will be followed by an up close and […]

'Exporting' a few chips of rock internationally enforces capitalist values on matter that couldn't care less in awkward ways.
DE customs want invoices to prove what I've picked up from #MineWaste is worth (for a gift) so they can tax it.
The fact it's arsenopyrite is probably not an issue but […]
A bag of springs, 6 circuit boards, 2 populated with components and 6 geological specimens of semiconducting minerals from mine sites in Cornwall, asenopyrite, chalcopyrite and galena (with sphalerite).
Sending an Organised Atoms 'startup package' to @constant for their "0v ⏚ zero volts" event ( constantvzw.org/site/0v-%E2%8F%9A-zero-v... )
A bag of conductive springs, amps and inverter circuits and 6 geological specimens of […]

Two complex cuprite crystals, one on the right has a slightly more blue colour due to a coating of chrysocolla. Both on an orange 'limonite' matrix.
Recently I've been making better images of specimens I found previously - this is a pair of complex #Cuprite crystals from #MineWaste at Wheal Unity, Gwennap I found in a 20 minute visit in 2023 checking sites for #OrganisedAtoms workshops (I should check it […]

A cardboard box on scales on a table with small pieces of glittery rock. Packing material scattered around the edge.
635g of naturally grown Cornish semiconductor material for dispatch to Germany - a new collaboration!
