CMOS Sequencer Synthesizer, by Dennis Cao, made with a square wave generated from a hex inverter, that is sent to a frequency divider (binary counter), and is sent to an 8-1 MUX.

With just a little more this could become a semi-usable instrument. You can have so much fun with those logic chips (need not be CMOS, can be TTL if you're not building modular stuff where you'd often want to directly drive the ICs from +12V or +15V to save components and get logic levels compatible with the rest of the system). I encourage everyone who has a little downtime to get a small breadboard like in the video and try to build some simple circuits. Have a look a the range of CMOS offerings, and then note that you can use some of those ICs as op amps, too (Polyvoks anyone?). Yeah, it's a great hobby. 😉
Also check out Phillip Stearns (Pixel Form). He does workshops around NYC and has performed/lectured at a variety of festivals. Plus he's a cool guy that encourages you to understand what you're doing, even if you're brand new to electronics.
