Simple patch from a couple years ago exploring the ideas of artificial neurons for audio distortion. Mutliple audio signals (including a sequenced sine wave) are fed into a mixer at different weights, then they are transformed with a nonlinearilty (the wavefolder on the right), then fed back into the mixer. The results are an unpredictable, chaos-driven distortion of the repeating sequence.

Sadly, the flickering is not a video effect, just a dying fluorescent light.
