Two choices: Make a switch (super conceptual) using the 555 timer in MONOSTABLE mode. Output what ever you like. Focus is on the switch.
Or
Make a variable resistor (alternative, creative) the main thing is that what ever it is, the material needs to be conductive. Using the 555 timer in Astable STABLE mode. Output will be sound (speaker) Focus is on the aesthetic of the sound and the creative use of resistance.
